VS PickFile

A simple VS code extension which helps you pick files in launch configurations or tasks.

Examples

In this example, we use the extension to run a JavaScript file in our work space.

// launch.json
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "inputs": [
	    {
		    "id": "pickJSProg",
		    "type": "command",
		    "command": "vspickfile.pickFile",
		    "args": {
			    "directories": "", // defaults to workpace folder
			    "extensions": "js",
		    }
	    }
    ],
    "configurations": [
	    {
		    "type": "node",
		    "request": "launch",
		    "name": "Choose JS Program",
		    "program": "${input:pickJSProg}"
	    }
    ]
}

In this example, we run from choosing a JavaScript file in our work space.

// launch.json
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "inputs": [
	    {
		    "id": "pickFile",
		    "type": "command",
		    "command": "vspickfile.pickFile",
		    "args": {
			    "directories": "", // defaults to workpace folder
			    "extensions": "json"
		    }
	    }
    ],
    "configurations": [
	    {
		    "type": "node",
		    "request": "launch",
		    "name": "Choose file arguments",
		    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/prog2.js",
		    "args": [
			    "${input:pickFile}"
		    ]
	    }
    ]
}
