Sound On Error

Sound On Error is a lightweight VS Code extension that listens to terminal output and plays a meme sound when error keywords appear.

Default sound is faah (bundled as error.mp3), and you can optionally select a custom sound file.

Trigger Keywords

Sound On Error matches terminal output case-insensitively against these keywords:

  • error:
  • fail:
  • failed
  • fatal:
  • exception
  • traceback
  • cannot find path
  • no such file or directory
  • command not found
  • not recognized as an internal or external command
  • because it does not exist

Commands

  • Faah: Select Custom Sound
  • Faah: Clear Custom Sound
  • Faah: Play Test Sound

Settings

  • faah.enabled (default: true): Enable/disable Faah.
  • faah.customSoundPath (default: empty): Custom audio file path.
  • faah.cooldownMs (default: 1200): Minimum milliseconds between plays.

Notes

  • On macOS, afplay is used.
  • On Linux, Faah tries paplay, aplay, ffplay, mpg123, mpg321, then play.
  • On Windows, PowerShell media playback is used.
  • Terminal keyword detection relies on VS Code terminal shell-integration events.
