Faaah Error

Ever run a command, wait confidently… and then boom, it fails?

Instead of silently staring at red text, you now get a dramatic "Faaah" straight from your terminal.

This extension plays the trending Faaah sound whenever a terminal command exits with an error. It's lightweight, simple, and surprisingly satisfying.

Perfect for local development when you want instant, audible feedback without constantly watching the terminal.

Features

• Plays assets/faaah.mp3 when a terminal command exits with a non-zero status
• Works with VS Code shell integration when available
• Smart fallback detection for environments without shell integration
• Configurable enable toggle
• Adjustable cooldown to prevent spam
• Volume control from subtle disappointment to full drama

Requirements

• The sound file must exist at assets/faaah.mp3
• System audio must be enabled

Extension Settings

This extension adds the following settings:

• faaah.enabled (boolean, default: true)
  Enable or disable the sound entirely.

• faaah.cooldownMs (number, default: 2000)
  Minimum delay between plays, in milliseconds.

• faaah.volume (number, default: 1)
  Playback volume from 0 to 1.

Usage

1. Open a terminal in VS Code.
2. Run a command that fails.
3. Accept your fate. Hear the Faaah.

Example commands:

PowerShell:

Get-Item C:\this_file_does_not_exist_123.txt

CMD:

cd C:\definitely_not_a_folder_123

Known Behavior

• In some shell configurations without integration support, failure detection may trigger when the terminal session ends.
• A built-in cooldown prevents repeated playback during rapid consecutive failures.
