Requirements

• Install the YAML extension (YAML Language Support by Red Hat)

• Install the schema files using the command palette (Assert: Install Schema).

Editing Workflows

The plugin automatically detects YAML and applies schema constraints to show errors and provide intellisense while editing.

The example below shows a partially typed workflow being completed with the help of intellisense and a completion snippet. The resulting YAML is a simple auto-login workflow that Venari uses to authenticate to a web application with forms-based login.

Editing Rules

The example below shows a partially typed rule being completed with the help of intellisense. The resulting YAML is a simple inspection rule used by Venari to search for validated private IPv4 address exposure.

Editing Data Sets

The example below shows a partially typed data set being completed with the help of snippets.
