Is it possible to launch bat file via external terminal, not inside a vscode terminal?
Task sample:
{
"label": "Build",
"type": "shell",
"command": "./build.bat",
"presentation": {
"reveal": "always",
"panel": "new"
},
"problemMatcher": [],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
}
tasks.json version 2.0.0 edit:
{
"label": "%name%",
"type": "shell",
"command": "Start-Process -FilePath \"%path to bat%\"",
"presentation": {
"reveal": "never"
},
"problemMatcher": [],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
},
For older tasks.json version: So, while vscode uses PowerShell as main environment on windows, next piece worked for me:
"command": "Start-Process -FilePath \"path to script\"",
"presentation": {
"reveal": "never"
},
