Failed to run query in vscode extension, but cli worked

[yuxiaolejs]

I ran into a strange situation where my vscode extension complains about the library path even after me running codeql pack install (which shows nothing to download), and refused to run any queries. However, if I run the same query on the same database using CLI command codeql query run --database=/codeql_create_db.database_dir alloc_const.ql, it will work properly and give the expected output. What might be wrong?

FYI this is how I configured codeql:

• Downloaded the codeql-bundle-linux64.tar.gz archive.
• Unzipped the codeql directory into /opt/codeql
• Added /opt/codeql to my path (later for debugging I added it to the path of /etc/environment
• Confirmed the codeql command is working.
