Tasks

ivyx

Define the shell commands you run all the time and launch any of them from one panel

Tasks

Run your project's tasks — build steps, scripts and other shell commands defined in tasks.json — from a panel at the bottom of the editor.

What you can do

  • Browse every task defined in your project's tasks.json, each showing the command it runs
  • Run a task with one click, or from the "Tasks: Run Task…" command
  • Follow past and running tasks in a Runs list, with their status and timing
  • Open the terminal for a running task to watch its output
  • Reload after editing tasks.json, or jump straight to the file to edit it

Because tasks run real shell commands, you're asked to confirm the first time you run one.

Getting started

Open the Tasks panel and run one, or run Tasks: Run Task… from the command palette.
