A lightweight VS Code extension that plays a sound effect whenever a task (like your test runner) fails. Keep your focus on the code and get immediate audio feedback when things go south!
Features
Automatic Task Monitoring: Listens for any VS Code task whose name contains "test" (case-insensitive).
Audio Feedback: Plays a sound when a task exits with a non-zero exit code.
Built-in Meme Sounds: Choose from several fun sounds like "Vine Boom", "Emotional Damage", and "Brother Ewwww".
Custom Sound Support: Use your own .wav or .mp3 files.
Cross-Platform: Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
How It Works
The extension automatically activates when you open a workspace. It monitors all running tasks. If a task fails (returns a non-zero exit code) and its name includes "test", the selected sound will play at the configured volume.
