Target and profile selection, run and debug play buttons, build button, all in the status bar for convenience.
Provides CARGO_MAKE_RUN_TARGET cargo-make environment variable which is set to the currently selected target.
The extension will call the build task (build-release if in release profile), so if there is no task in the Makefile.toml, it will try to use the default task (this is standard behavior for cargo-make).
You must have a Makefile.toml in the root directory of your workspace. The file can be left empty and cargo-make defaults will be used.
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings:
cargo_make_runner.clearRunTaskTerminal: Automatically clear the run task terminal before each run.
cargo_make_runner.additionalArgs: Additional arguments to pass to the target when running.
cargo_make_runner.useCompactIcons: Use compact icons in the status bar.
cargo_make_runner.targetDirectory: The build directory. The release/debug/etc subdirectories are assumed to be in here. This is relative to the workspace.
cargo_make_runner.debuggerTypeWindows: The debugger to use for debugging on Windows.
cargo_make_runner.debuggerTypeLinux: The debugger to use for debugging on Linux.
cargo_make_runner.debuggerTypeMac: The debugger to use for debugging on Mac.
Known Issues
Must use a Makefile.toml file in the root directory. This may be relaxed in the future.
Various project structures may break the tool, but requires more testing.
Does not detect examples.
Todo
