Configure Liquibase Secure DEV

Last updated: September 2, 2025

Procedure

You'll need to configure four essential settings to use the Liquibase Secure DEV extension in VSCode. Most settings are automatically detected, with the option to customize as needed :

Liquibase Home: The location of your Liquibase installation

Java Home: Your Java runtime environment path

PRO Key: Your Liquibase Pro license key

Configuration Path: Where your settings are stored (defaults to ".liquibase")

All settings can be adjusted through Extension Settings if the auto-detection doesn't match your setup. This guide will walk you through configuring each one to quickly get you up and running.
