Chapter 3. Configuring Visual Studio Code to use Dependency Analytics


You can gain access to Red Hat’s Trusted Profile Analyzer service by using the Dependency Analytics extension for Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code (VS Code) editor application. With this extension you get access to the latest open source vulnerability information, and insights about your application’s dependent packages. The Red Hat Dependency Analytics extension uses the following data sources for the most up-to-date vulnerability information available:

Dependency Analytics supports the following programming languages:

  • Maven
  • Node
  • Python
  • Go
Important

Visual Studio Code by default, executes binaries directly in a terminal found in your system’s PATH environment. You can configure Visual Studio Code to look somewhere else to run the necessary binaries. You can configure this by accessing the extension settings. Click the Workspace tab, search for the word executable, and specify the absolute path to the binary file you want to use for Maven, Node, Python, or Go.

Note

The Dependency Analytics extension is an online service maintained by Red Hat. Dependency Analytics only accesses your manifest files to analyze your application dependencies before displaying the results.

Prerequisites

  • Install Visual Studio Code on your workstation.
  • For Maven projects, analyzing a pom.xml file, you must have the mvn binary in your system’s PATH environment.
  • For Node projects, analyzing a package.json file, you must have the npm binary in your system’s PATH environment.
  • For Go projects, analyzing a go.mod file, you must have the go binary in your system’s PATH environment.
  • For Python projects, analyzing a requirements.txt file, you must have the python3/pip3 or python/pip binaries in your system’s PATH environment. Also, the Python application needs to be in VS Code’s interpreter path.

Procedure

  1. Open the Visual Studio Code application.
  2. From the file menu, click View, and click Extensions.
  3. Search the Marketplace for Red Hat Dependency Analytics.
  4. Click the Install button to install the extension. Wait for the installation to finish.
  5. To start scanning your application for security vulnerabilities, and view the vulnerability report, you can do one of the following:

    • Open a manifest file, hover over a dependency marked by the inline Component Analysis, indicated by the wavy-red line under a dependency name, click Quick Fix, and click Detailed Vulnerability Report.
    • Open a manifest file, and click the pie chart icon.
    • Right click on a manifest file in the Explorer view, and click Red Hat Dependency Analytics Report…​.
    • From the vulnerability pop-up alert message, click Open detailed vulnerability report.
