Ouch Ouch Ouch Error Alerts

Play a dramatic "ouch ouch ouch" sound whenever you encounter an error in the VS Code terminal!

Features

Make debugging a little more fun (and painful). This extension actively monitors your integrated VS Code terminal and plays an audio alert whenever a command fails or a script crashes.

How it Works (Secure & Lightweight)

Unlike other terminal extensions that constantly read and scrape your raw terminal text looking for the word "error" (which causes false positives and poses security/privacy risks), Ouch Error Alerts is built differently.

It securely hooks into the VS Code API to monitor the System Exit Code of your terminal processes.

• ✅ Zero False Positives: print("error") won't trigger it, but an actual script crash will.
• ✅ Zero Text Scraping: Your terminal input and output remain completely private.
• ✅ Zero Dependencies: Uses native OS audio players instead of bulky third-party NPM packages.

Requirements

No special requirements! It uses your operating system's built-in audio capabilities:

• Windows: Uses PowerShell (System.Media.SoundPlayer)
• macOS: Uses afplay
• Linux: Uses aplay
