Makefile Runner

Makefile Runner

Allows us to run/copy make targets directly from vscode terminal.

Setup Options(Optional)

To export environment variables while running targets. Open settings.json and add configs

"make-runner.env": {
  "development": {
    "AWS_PROFILE": "development",
    "RAILS_ENV": "development",
    "ROLE": "admin",
    "ENABLE_MFA": false
  },
  "staging": {
    "AWS_PROFILE": "staging",
    "RAILS_ENV": "staging",
    "ROLE": "user",
    "ENABLE_MFA": true
  },
  "none": {}
}

Note: This is optional step to export environment variables while running the targets.

Usage

• Open any Makefile
• Put the cursor on any target

1. Run the target in the vscode terminal

• Use key bindings cmd+shift+enter for Mac or ctrl+shift+enter for PC to run the target.

Note: This will execute the commands in the active terminal of vscode. If your current terminal is busy, create a new terminal before executing the target.

2. Copy the command

• Use key bindings cmd+shift+c for Mac or ctrl+shift+c for PC to copy the target command. Now you can paste the command in the terminal of your choice.
