@michaelcfanning what error/issue did you see?
I refresh installed the marketplace SARIF viewer on VS 2019, it works for me.

Answer 2 · 2022-01-25T20:13:25.000Z

Also clean installed the VS2019 VSIX built from latest main branch. It also works. Pls let me know what issue did you see thanks!

I don't see the tool window, and if I go to View > Other windows, it comes up empty. This is the live package.

@EasyRhinoMSFT I cannot repo your issue neither... Ran the APEX tests all passed too. Wondering if its environment related. Feel free to setup a meeting/live session we can investigate more.

Answer 5 · 2022-01-26T20:04:23.000Z

Worked with @EasyRhinoMSFT showed me the issue:

Open VS 2019 installed the SAIRF viewer extension.
Open a valid SARIF log file with results.
SARIF explorer does not popup automatically
Open SARIF explorer from menu 'View' -> 'Other Windows' -> 'SARIF Explorer', the explorer window is blank.

As I understand this is current viewer's behavior. Viewer does not open SARIF explorer after opening a SARIF log file.
Only when you navigate to the result in Error List pane (double click on the error list item), it will open SARIF explorer and populate information.

I found an old issue discussing about this behavior at #159. Please take a look.
We could show a message in the blank SARIF explorer "Select an error to see details" to the user.

I find this very weird. The original purpose of the viewer was to provide an enhanced interaction with SARIF logs with a UI that presents their details. The current behavior makes it almost completely invisible and difficult to discover.

I too am confused by the behavior here. This morning I downloaded and installed it on VS2019. I opened a valid SARIF file (works fine with the VSCode extension) but I don't see anything in the Error List or in the SARIF Explorer window. I even opened the Solution to which the SARIF file applies but I still don't see anything. My expectation is that I should see results for any SARIF file I open somewhere. Any logs or anything I can collect here?

Answer 8 · 2022-02-14T21:27:24.000Z

My machine is still in this condition. I see that the extension is installed, 3.0.59.39815. I know that the viewer is partly operational: if I open a SARIF v1 file it queries me to see if I want to transform. And then, after this, silence. :)

@yongyan-gh, @EasyRhinoMSFT, with two customer reports, I trust there's some fire to this smoke. :) Would you like me to debug my system, if no one else on the team can repro?

@michaelcfanning can you please provide the log you are opening

Answer 10 · 2022-02-14T23:00:19.000Z

@tgriff @michaelcfanning

can you pls share the visual studio log file at: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{vs_version}\ActivityLog.xml, and the sarif log file you opened when you saw the issue? Thanks

Answer 11 · 2022-02-15T16:18:21.000Z

I ran VS2019 with the "/log" parameter, opened my solution, and then opened a SARIF file relevant to the solution (i.e. there are results in the file that apply to files in my solution). I opened a file that should have results on it, but didn't see any. I opened SARIF explorer but it was completely empty.

Here is the abridged activity log (reduced to just events related to the SARIF viewer and PII removed): AbridgedActivityLog.txt. It doesn't appear to be very enlightening, to my eyes anyway.

I cannot provide the SARIF log here as it's generated by an internal tool, but I could send it to @EasyRhinoMSFT internally (along with the full ActivityLog.xml). Let me know if that is acceptable.

Answer 12 · 2022-02-15T18:04:01.000Z

OK, let's do follow up internally, this one is important.
