What problem does this solve?
After enabling Checkmarx extension, and upon restarting VS Code, the SCA real-time scanner begins scanning every file in the workspace. For many workspaces this could contain many thousands of files. The scan process taxes the system and essentially locks up VS Code. I have to use a work-around to in order to turn off the real-time scan.
Work Around: Create a new folder on your system. Open that folder in a terminal and enter> code . This will open VS Code to an empty workspace. Open Checkmarx extension and disable SCA real-time scanner.
Proposed Solution
When initializing the plugin, if real-time SCA scan is enabled, prompt the user if they want to proceed with the scan. Note that it can take a while if there are many files in the workspace. Provide the user with an option to disable the real time SCA scan in this modal.
