Pick File Command

Provides a command for quick-picking files, intended for use with launch configurations or tasks.

By default, pick-file-command.quick-pick will ask you to select a workspace, then ask you to select a file in that workspace.

launch.json

If you specify "pick-file-command.quick-pick": "<dir>" in a launch configuration, quick-pick will start in that directory - however this may not work for all debug adapters.

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            // ...
            "args": ["${command:pick-file-command.quick-pick}"],
            "pick-file-command.quick-pick": "${workspaceFolder}/foo/bar"
        },
    ]
}

tasks.json

By default, quick-pick will start in the task's workspace. If you specify a relative path after the command, quick-pick will interpret the path relative to the task's workspace and start there. If you specify an absolute path after the command, quick-pick will start there.

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            // ...
            "args": [
                "${command:pick-file-command.quick-pick:foo/bar}",
            ],
        }
    ]
}
