🔊 Woo Woops

A VS Code extension that plays audio feedback when your code has errors or runs successfully.

Features

🔴 Error sound — plays when a terminal command exits with an error (Python, Node, Rust, anything)
✅ Success sound — plays when a terminal command completes successfully
🎵 Custom sounds — point to your own .wav files
🔇 Easy toggle — enable/disable via command palette

Usage

Install the extension and start coding — sounds play automatically whenever you run anything in the terminal.

Commands (Ctrl+Shift+P)

Command	Description
`Woo Woops: Test Success Sound`	Preview the success sound
`Woo Woops: Test Error Sound`	Preview the error sound
`Woo Woops: Toggle On/Off`	Mute/unmute all sounds

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`wooWoops.enabled`	`true`	Enable or disable all sounds
`wooWoops.errorSoundPath`	`""`	Path to a custom `.wav` file for errors
`wooWoops.successSoundPath`	`""`	Path to a custom `.wav` file for success

Custom Sound Example

In your settings.json:

{
  "wooWoops.errorSoundPath": "C:\\Users\\You\\sounds\\my-error.wav",
  "wooWoops.successSoundPath": "C:\\Users\\You\\sounds\\my-success.wav"
}

How It Works

Woo Woops uses VS Code's Shell Integration API (onDidEndTerminalShellExecution) to detect when any terminal command finishes. Exit code 0 = success sound. Anything else = error sound. Works with python, node, cargo, npm, or any command you run.

Platform Support

Platform	Audio Method
Windows	PowerShell `Media.SoundPlayer`
macOS	`afplay` (built-in)
Linux	`aplay` / `paplay` / `ffplay`

Requirements

Shell Integration must be enabled in VS Code (it's on by default). If sounds aren't triggering, check that terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled is true in your settings.
