Terminal Error Sound 🔊

Never miss a terminal error again! This VS Code extension plays a sound ("faah!") whenever a command in your terminal fails or outputs an error.

Features

Automatic Error Detection — Detects errors from many languages: JavaScript, Python, C/C++, Java, Rust, Go, shell, and more.
Exit Code Monitoring — Uses VS Code Shell Integration to detect non-zero exit codes (most reliable method).
Output Scanning — Scans terminal output text for common error patterns as a fallback.
Debounced — Won't spam you with sounds; plays at most once every 2 seconds.
Toggle On/Off — Click the status bar icon or use the command palette.
Cross-Platform — Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Command	Description
`Terminal Error Sound: Toggle On/Off`	Enable or disable the error sound
`Terminal Error Sound: Test Sound`	Play the sound to test your audio setup

Look for the 🔊 Error Sound indicator in the bottom-right status bar. Click it to toggle the extension on/off.

The extension detects errors from:

JavaScript/TypeScript/Node.js — SyntaxError, TypeError, ReferenceError, npm ERR!, etc.
Python — ImportError, NameError, ValueError, Traceback, etc.
C/C++/Rust/Go — fatal error, undefined reference, segmentation fault, panic, etc.
Java/C# — NullPointerException, ClassNotFoundException, etc.
Shell — command not found, Permission denied, No such file or directory, etc.
General — Non-zero exit codes, error:, failed, exception, etc.
