Terminal Error Sound

A simple Visual Studio Code extension that plays a sound whenever a terminal command finishes with an error.

Features

• Detects failed terminal commands.
• Plays a custom sound when a command fails.
• Works with programming languages and command-line tools that return a non-zero exit code.
• Starts automatically when VS Code starts.

How it works

The extension monitors terminal commands in VS Code.

When a command finishes successfully, nothing happens.

When a command finishes with a non-zero exit code, the extension plays the configured error sound.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code
• Windows

Sound

The extension uses:

sounds/error-sound.wav

Replace this file with another WAV sound if you want to use a different error sound.

Usage

Successful command:
