Sign in and load detail Cloud logs

You now have an active user account for the extension. Follow the three steps below to start identifying Cloud Blockers directly in VS Code.

  1. Open your workspace: click on “Open Folder” button to select the folder for your project. It should use the same folder structure that has been previously scanned by the CAST Highlight command line (refer to the section below on how to produce detailed scan logs required by the Cloud Maturity VS Code extension).
  2. Login with your credentials: click the “Identification” button and type your login/password
  3. Load the detailed CAST Highlight scan logs: click on “Load CAST Highlight Log file’” and select the CAST Highlight detailed scan logs. Logs are available for each scanned technology (e.g. cloudDetail_Java.csv)
  4. You’re now ready to navigate the source code files for your workspace and identify Blocker occurrences.

How to generate CAST Highlight scan logs with the command line

The CAST Highlight Cloud Maturity extension for VS Code reads detailed scan logs which contain Cloud Blocker information (Roadblocks, line numbers and positions, etc.).

These detailed scan logs (see below example) are produced by the CAST Highlight command line with the following option:

--dbgMatchPatternDetail

The logs are produced in the same folder as other scan result CSV files: {scannedFolder}/HLTemporary/analysis/cloudDetail_{technology}.csv
