Description

**Description of the issue**

Hello,
I am using the codeql using VSCode extension. I want to generate AST for a particular file but it just won't show me the AST.
Please note that I can view the AST for some files(majority of them) but for a few files I am unable to do so.
All these files are present in the CodeQL Database that was generated. I have verified from the src.zip file.
There is no error when I click on `CODEQL: View AST` button on right click in my src file in both working and non-working cases.(I've added logs at the end of this issue)
I have attached Images for the extension tab when It generates an AST and when it doesn't.
