Tasks broken

[aishfenton]

When running "bazel" tasks the the "run task" menu I get the following error:

There is no task provider registered for tasks of type "bazel".

Using VSCode 1.88, and Bazel Extension 0.9.0 (latest in extension market place).

Support for defining tasks in your tasks.json was added only recently and does not work in 0.9, yet. We will need to release a new version for this to work.

@cameron-martin do you have any thoughts on when we should cut the next release?

I think we have enough new functionality by now such that a new release is worth it. Maybe we should still try to get #372 merged before cutting the release (it's essentially a rather straightforward 10-line change), but that's purely optional.

At the same time, I think it would make sense to cut the release before merging #366. #366 bumps the required VSCode version. By cutting a release before doing the version bump, users on older VS Code versions will still be able to profit from all the other improvements

Ahh you're right.

[cameron-martin]

I think we're ready to cut a release, I was just waiting for #367 and that's now merged. I'll try do that tomorrow along with reviewing #372.

Amazing! Thank you 🙂

I'm still seeing this issue in 0.10.0 using a Mac as client, editing a Bazel project on a Linux server. Builds via the "Bazel Build Targets" pane work fine, but I cannot turn these into tasks in tasks.json. When I try to re-run a build using "Run Task" I receive the following error:

There is no task provider registered for tasks of type "bazel".

What debugging info would be helpful for me to provide?
