About logs

Progress and error messages are displayed as notifications in the bottom right corner of the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} workspace. These link to more detailed logs and error messages in the "Output" window.

You can access the following logs:

• {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} Extension

• {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} Language Server

• {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} Query Server

• {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} Tests

Note

The {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} Language Server log contains more advanced debug logs for {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} language maintainers. You should only need these to provide details in a bug report.
