Tasks

Inside Skink: Ctrl+E, then help tasks.

| Key | Does | |---|---| | Shift+F10 | pick a task and run it in a terminal tab (:task [LABEL]) | | Shift+F9 | run the last task again (:task last) |

Tasks come from .skink/tasks.json and .vscode/tasks.json, plus ones detected from Cargo.toml, package.json scripts (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun), go.mod, build.zig, pytest setups and Makefile targets.

json {"version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ {"label": "test", "command": "cargo", "args": ["test"], "options": {"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"}, "problemMatcher": "$rustc"} ]}

The VS Code subset: label, command, args, options.cwd, options.env, group, problemMatcher and per-OS linux / osx / windows overrides. ${workspaceFolder} ${file} ${relativeFile} ${fileDirname} ${fileBasename} ${env:NAME} expand.

## Problems

When a task ends its output goes through problem matchers: $rustc, $tsc, $eslint-stylish, $eslint-compact, $go, $gcc, Python tracebacks and pytest. With no problemMatcher all are tried; [] turns them off. Problems show in the gutter, Shift+F8 and F6 like a language server's, until the next run.
