Overview

The Datadog extension for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) integrates with Datadog to accelerate your development.

The Code Insights view keeps you informed about:

Issues from Error Tracking
Vulnerability reports by Application Security Management
Flaky tests detected by CI Visibility
Profiling insights from Watchdog Insights

The Synthetic Tests feature allows you to:

Run Synthetic tests on your local environments
Set custom parameters without altering the original test definition
See test results locally in VS Code and in Datadog to access additional information
Test only what matters by executing relevant tests at the same time
Create a list of most frequently used Synthetic tests by linking them to your workspace

The View in VS Code feature provides a link from Datadog directly to your source files.

Requirements

A Datadog account: The extension requires a Datadog account. If you’re new to Datadog, go to the Datadog website to learn more about Datadog’s observability tools and sign up for a free trial.

Setup

Install the Datadog Extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Code Insights

The Code Insights tree displays insights generated by the Datadog platform that are relevant to your code-base. The insights are grouped into three categories: performance, reliability, and security.

Code Insights include a detailed description for each issue, and links to:

The related source code location
The Datadog platform for additional information

You can dismiss individual insights and set filters to view the categories of insights that you are most interested to see.

Synthetic Tests

The Datadog extension enables you to run Synthetic HTTP tests and browser tests on local environments directly in the IDE. You can identify and address potential issues resulting from code changes before they are deployed into production and impact your end users.

Run Synthetic tests locally

Select a Synthetic test to execute. You can search for specific tests by clicking the Search icon.
Change the test’s configuration to convert the start URL and specify a localhost URL on the Settings page.
Run the test.

The Test Configuration panel and Settings page where you can specify the start URL of a Synthetics test to a localhost URL

If you haven’t set up Synthetic tests already, create a test in Datadog. For more information about running tests on a local environment, see Getting Started with API Tests, Getting Started with Browser Tests, and the Continuous Testing Tunnel documentation.

Permissions

By default, only users with the Datadog Admin and Datadog Standard roles can create, edit, and delete Synthetic HTTP and browser tests. To get create, edit, and delete access to Synthetic HTTP and browser tests, upgrade your user to one of those two default roles.

If you are using the custom role feature, add your user to any custom role that includes synthetics_read and synthetics_write permissions.

View in VS Code

The View in VS Code feature provides a link from Datadog directly to your source files. Look for the button next to frames in stack traces displayed in the UI (for example, in Error Tracking):
