This action will allow synchronizing defects and vulnerabilities found by Kiuwan in your source code, getting them ready for fixing. All the following settings can be configured at User level (i.e. they will apply to all folders opened with the user currently logged in the machine), or at Workspace level (i.e. you can configure different values for different folders/workspaces); the later is recommended. |
To map your VS Code workspace to Kiuwan, type your Kiuwan app name at Remote Application: Name

Viewing Kiuwan defects in VS Code
Once configured, just click on the Kiuwan icon to see the defects.
This 'tree of defects' is structured in two or three levels:
- Rule:
- The first level represents 'the rule' which generated the defect.
- If you select it, the bottom section Details will refresh its contents, showing important information about that rule.
- You can also right-click on it and select Show rule documentation in Kiuwan and K4D will open a new tab of your system web browser, pointing to Kiuwan, to show you all existing details about the rule.
- Defect:
- The second level is populated with defects found of the selected rule.
- The Details section will now show information that affects only selected defect, and K4D will try and find the reported file and line among your local sources, to open it in a new editor tab.
- Propagation path:
- The last level will show you all the locations of the code crossed by a security vulnerability, so you can track it, and neutralize it.
