Currently we support having a
preLaunchTask
specified in 'launch.json' to run a task before a user starts debugging (more details here). There are requests that we support running apreLaunchTask
even if a user does not have 'tasks.json' setup.My proposal for this is that the user could specify a full command in his 'launch.json' which we would just forward to our terminal via the
send
api. The only missing piece for this would be for the terminal to be aware when a command has finished running - or when it becomes idle. Currently this problem is solved in the task framewrok by @dbaeumer so maybe we could do something similar in our terminal.I think @jrieken might be also interested in something similar for the passing of errors from our terminal to the marker service.
@Tyriar let me know what you think and if this request makes sense
@weinand fyi
