Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) that allows running any command as you save files (Pre/Post save).
Targets
It supports VS2019 and VS2022.
Configure
A .runcommandonsave file is a directory-level configuration file with INI format. All the documents in the folder and subfolders will abide by the configuration. We can override the whole file by creating another .runonsave file in a subfolder.
It can contain 3 possible sections: [PreSave], [PostSave] or [Debug] like in this example. The debug section only allows to activate it with the key On. The other two, allow specifying the commands we want to execute, the excluded extensions (none by default) and the excluded paths (none by default too).
[Debug]
On = true
; All keys can contain multiple values separated by '|'
[PreSave]
Commands=Edit.FormatDocument|OtherCommand
ExcludeExtensions=.xml|.clang-format|.runcommandonsave
ExcludePaths=third-party|research
[PostSave]
; Etc.
If the Debug is on, it will print to the VS output console a message indicating if the saved file was processed.
