Command Tasks

Execute Visual Studio Code built-in commands or commands provided by extensions as Tasks.

Features

Adds a new task type, vscode-command, which can be used to configure tasks in task.json that run Visual Studio Code commands or commands from extensions as tasks, allowing them to appear in the list of tasks presented by the "Tasks: Run Task" command or used as a preLaunchTask or postDebugTask in a launch.json configuration, for example.

Parameters

• command: the identifier of the command to run.
• args: an optional array of arguments to pass to the command.
