Node version
The CodeQL for VS Code extension defines the version of Node.js that it is intended to run with. This Node.js version is used when running most CI and unit tests.
When running in production (i.e. as an extension for a VS Code application) it will use the Node.js version provided by VS Code. This can mean a different Node.js version is used by different users with different versions of VS Code. We should make sure the CodeQL for VS Code extension works with the Node.js version supplied by all versions of VS Code that we support.
Checking the version of Node.js supplied by VS Code
You can find this info by selecting "About Visual Studio Code" from the top menu.
Updating the Node.js version
To update the Node.js version, run:
npx ts-node scripts/update-node-version.ts
Node.js version used in tests
Unit tests will use whatever version of Node.js is installed locally. In CI this will be the version specified in the workflow.
Integration tests download a copy of VS Code and then will use whatever version of Node.js is provided by VS Code. See VS Code version used in tests for more information.
