integrated-terminal-tasks README

This extension allows a workspace to define specific tasks that should be ran in VSCode's interactive terminal

Features

In order to use this application, create a configuration file in your .vscode directory. This file will define the available tasks.

For example, it could look something like:

{
    "Task Name": {
        "cmd": "ps",            // The command you'd like to run in the terminal
        "args": ["-a"],         // Array of string arguments to the command
        "stealFocus": true,     // If this is true, focus will jump to the terminal right away
        "shellOptions": {}      // This allows you to override the default shell options described below for this specific task.
    },
    "Task 2:" {
        "cmd": {                // cmd and args can also vary based on platform, just like default shell.
            "default": "vi",
            "mac": "nano",
            "linux": "emacs"
        },
        "args": {
            "default": []
            "mac": ["-B"]
        }
    }
}

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• integratedTerminalTasks.taskFileName: Name of the configuration file in the .vscode directory to read for tasks. Defaults to integrated-terminal-tasks.json
• integratedTerminalTasks.defaultShell: This object configures the default shells to be used if the task does not override it. By default, the only configured property is to set the default shell to sh.

This object has the following properties

{
    "default": "sh",        // The shell to use if no OS-specific override is detected.
    "mac": "bash",
    "windows:" "cmd.exe",
    "linux": "zsh",
    "args": {               // Arguments to append to the shell if no task-specific override is used.
        "default": "",      // Arguments to use if no OS-specific override is detected.
        "mac": "",
        "windows": ""
        "linux": ""
    }
}
