Automatically update cgmanifest.json

[CsCherrYY]

We can use a script in our pipeline to keep the cgmanifest.json updated. The candidates implemention can be a gradle task.

Hi @CsCherrYY, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Suggestions

• Add a Gradle task that invokes the Component Governance CLI (cgtool) to regenerate cgmanifest.json whenever dependencies change. For example, see how the vscode-gradle repo does this in its Azure pipeline:
  • Pipeline steps: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-gradle/blob/main/.azure-pipelines/vscode-gradle-rc.yml#L70-L87
• Refer to the official cgmanifest docs for tooling details and CLI usage:
  • https://docs.opensource.microsoft.com/tools/cg/features/cgmanifest/

Other references with low confidence

• Add “Update project configuration” command (vscode-java#113) – discusses triggering a refresh when build.gradle changes; may inspire hook points for regenerating cgmanifest.json.
