The script creates ".vscode/tasks.json" based on the Invoke-Build tasks and the optional "tasks-merge.json" tasks. Do not edit "tasks.json" directly. When you add, remove, rename tasks, change script locations, or modify "tasks-merge.json" then regenerate. The default task becomes the so called VSCode build task (Ctrl+Shift+B). The default task is "." if it exists, otherwise it is the first task. To invoke another task from VSCode, hit F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P, type "Run Task", type a task name or select it from the task list. Even better, set your keyboard shortcut for "workbench.action.tasks.runTask". Only tasks with certain names are included. They contain alphanumeric characters, "_", ".", and "-", with the first character other than "-". .Parameter BuildFile Specifies the build script path, absolute or relative. By default it is the default script in the current location, i.e. in the workspace root. .Parameter InvokeBuild Specifies Invoke-Build.ps1 path, absolute or relative. If it is omitted then any found in workspace is used. Otherwise, "Invoke-Build" is used. .Parameter Shell Specifies the name or path of the powershell or pwsh executable. The default is "powershell.exe". .Parameter Merge Specifies the tasks to be merged with the generated Invoke-Build tasks. The default is ".vscode/tasks-merge.json", it is merged automatically. The schema is the same as "tasks.json". The property "tasks" must be defined as the array of task objects. Other properties are not used. Lines starting with "//" are treated as comments and ignored. The tasks are added or merged with existing by properties. .Parameter WhereTask Tells to filter tasks and specifies the filter script block. The script checks the task $_ and gets $true/$false in order to include/exclude. .Example > New-VSCodeTask This command binds to the default build script in the workspace root and Invoke-Build.ps1 either in the workspace root or subdirectory or in the path or the module command. .Example > New-VSCodeTask ./Scripts/Build.ps1 ./packages/InvokeBuild/Invoke-Build.ps1 This command uses relative build and engine script paths. The second may be omitted, Invoke-Build.ps1 will be discovered. But it is needed if there may be several Invoke-Build.ps1 in the workspace. .Example > New-VSCodeTask -WhereTask {$_.Name -notlike "_*" -and $_.Jobs.Count -ge 2} This command filters tasks and tells to exclude tasks like "_*" and include tasks with two or more jobs. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$BuildFile, [string]$InvokeBuild, [string]$Shell = 'powershell.exe', [string]$Merge = '.vscode/tasks-merge.json', [scriptblock]$WhereTask ) trap {Write-Error -ErrorRecord $_} $ErrorActionPreference = 1 # resolve Invoke-Build.ps1 if (!$InvokeBuild) { $_ = @(Get-ChildItem . -Name -Recurse -Filter Invoke-Build.ps1) if ($_) { $InvokeBuild = './{0}' -f $_[0] } else { $InvokeBuild = 'Invoke-Build' } } # get all tasks and the default task $all = & $InvokeBuild ?? -File $BuildFile $dot = if ($all['.']) {'.'} else {$all.Item(0).Name} # get inputs tasks, optionally filtered if ($WhereTask) { $tasks1 = @($all.Values | Where-Object $WhereTask) } else { $tasks1 = $all.Values } ### result task data $tasks2 = [System.Collections.Generic.List[object]]@() $data = [ordered]@{ version = '2.0.0' windows = [ordered]@{ options = [ordered]@{ shell = [ordered]@{ executable = $Shell args = '-NoProfile', '-ExecutionPolicy', 'Bypass', '-Command' } } } linux = [ordered]@{ options = [ordered]@{ shell = [ordered]@{ executable = '/usr/bin/pwsh' args = '-NoProfile', '-Command' } } } osx = [ordered]@{ options = [ordered]@{ shell = [ordered]@{ executable = '/usr/local/bin/pwsh' args = '-NoProfile', '-Command' } } } tasks = $tasks2 } ### add main tasks $argIB = if ($InvokeBuild -eq 'Invoke-Build') {'Invoke-Build'} else {"& '{0}'" -f $InvokeBuild.Replace('\', '/').Replace("'", "''")} $argFile = if ($BuildFile) {" -File '{0}'" -f $BuildFile.Replace('\', '/').Replace("'", "''")} else {''} foreach($task1 in $tasks1) { $name = $task1.Name if ($name -match '[^\w\.\-]|^-') { continue } $task2 = [ordered]@{ label = $name type = 'shell' problemMatcher = '$msCompile' command = '{0} -Task {1}{2}' -f $argIB, $name, $argFile } if ($name -eq $dot) { $task2.group = [ordered]@{ kind = 'build' isDefault = $true } } $tasks2.Add($task2) } ### add help task $task2 = [ordered]@{ label = '?' type = 'shell' problemMatcher = '$msCompile' command = '{0} -Task ?{1}' -f $argIB, $argFile } $tasks2.Add($task2) ### merge tasks if ($Merge -and (Test-Path -LiteralPath $Merge)) {&{ # read and replace line comments with empty lines, to preserve line numbers $text = Get-Content -LiteralPath $Merge | .{process{if ($_ -match '^\s*//') {''} else {$_}}} | Out-String -Width 9999 Set-StrictMode -Off try { $json = ConvertFrom-Json $text if (!($mergeTasks = $json.tasks)) { throw "Missing required property 'tasks'." } foreach($task2 in $mergeTasks) { # get task label if (!($label = $task2.label)) { throw "Tasks must define 'label'." } # find existing task $task1 = $null foreach($_ in $tasks2) { if ($label -eq $_.label) { $task1 = $_ break } } # merge existing task or add new if ($task1) { foreach($_ in $task2.PSObject.Properties) { $task1[$_.Name] = $_.Value } } else { $tasks2.Add($task2) } } } catch { throw "Cannot merge '$Merge': $_" } }} ### save tasks.json $Header1 = '// Do not edit!
