Task.ja=son for build

[KingLebron]

Task.json is created as the followings:

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "g++",
    "args": ["-g", "*.cpp", "-o", "a.out"],
    "problemMatcher": {
        "owner": "cpp",
        "fileLocation": ["relative", "${workspaceRoot}"],
        "pattern": {
            "regexp": "^(.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s+(warning|error):\\s+(.*)$",
            "file": 1,
            "line": 2,
            "column": 3,
            "severity": 4,
            "message": 5
        }
    }
}

However it report the following error, though there are MergeSort.cpp and test.cpp in the working dicrectory:

clang: error: no such file or directory: '*.cpp'
clang: error: no input files

The extension is not involved in dealing with tasks. The only reason I can think of for the files not to be found due to current directory not being set correctly.

• does invoking pwd as command show the correct directory?

• current working directory for the invoked tool should be the workspace root. You can also try explicitly setting the directory for the tool through options

  "options": {
  "cwd": "/path/to/directory"
  },
