Task Runner Explorer

Task Runner Explorer adds a simple status bar button that lets you quickly launch workspace tasks in Visual Studio Code.

Instead of opening the command palette every time, you can run your tasks with a single click.

Features

• Run tasks directly from the status bar
• Quick access to the built-in VS Code command workbench.action.tasks.runTask
• Works with tasks defined in tasks.json
• Lightweight and minimal overhead

Usage

1. Open a workspace that contains tasks.
2. Click the Task Runner Explorer button in the status bar.
3. Select the task you want to run.

Alternatively you can run the command:

Task Runner Explorer: Run Task

from the Command Palette.
