just Command Runner for Visual Studio Code

just is a command runner, a handy way to save and run project-specific commands.

This extension adds just support to Visual Studio Code and its derivatives by letting you:

• run just recipes (as a task provider)
• format justfiles (as a document formatter)
• run commands with just
• evaluate variables from justfiles

It does not support:

• creating justfiles
• editing justfiles
• global justfiles

Features

Run recipes with the "Tasks: Run Task" command. The extension does not provide a problem matcher because output is handled by the commands just runs, not just itself.

Format justfiles with the "Format Document" command.

Run arbitrary commands in the context of just with the "just: Run command" command.

Evaluate variables from your justfiles with the "just: Evaluate variables" command.

Requirements

This extension requires just to be installed.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• just.executablePath: Path to or name of the just executable.
• just.executableArgs: Additional arguments passed to the just executable.

Known Issues

just formats justfiles according to its own rules, disregarding any formatting options you might have set.

What's With That Name?

Microsoft requires that all new extensions on their marketplace have a unique name and display name across all publishers. While having no way to transfer names between publishers.

So the only way to publish an extension without squatting the name is to include your publisher name in the extension name.
