Skill instructions
Hook local STS into vscode-mssql Update vscode-mssql's launch.json to point its Extension Development Host at a locally-published STS via the MSSQLSQLTOOLSSERVICE environment variable. After this, launching a debug session of the MSSQL extension uses your local STS instead of the bundled one. When to use - The user just built STS (or asks you to) and wants to test it in the MSSQL extension. - The user says "use my local STS in MSSQL", "point MSSQL at local STS", "hook up local STS", "set MSSQLSQLTOOLSSERVICE", or "set the STS env var". - The MSSQL repo may or may not be in the same workspace as STS; this skill handles both cases. Prerequisite The STS publish folder must exist. If it doesn't, run the local-publish-sts skill first (or instruct the user to). The path you will need is: <sts-repo-root/artifacts/publish/Microsoft.SqlTools.ServiceLayer/default/net10.0 or similar (e.g. if .NET has been updated) Procedure Step 1 — Locate the STS publish folder If the current working directory i
