Research direction

Start by tracing how bal build and bal scan are invoked in this repository and how package build pre-build tasks are registered. Done means a bal build automatically engages the scan tool and users no longer need to run bal scan separately to view the code report.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Problem

The user has to always do a bal scan to view the code report. This is okay in the build pipeline, but cumbersome in the development environment.

Proposed Solution

We have the capability to integrate the scan tool with the package build. With that, a user will be able to do a bal build, and the scan tool will be engaged as a pre-build task.

This way, the user doesn't have to manually do a bal scan each time to verify the code quality.

Alternatives

Providing linting capability.
