# vscode-task.el
An attempt at writing some Elisp code that makes it easy to select and run
pre-defined [VSCode tasks][tasks.json] from within an Emacs session.
Builds on `project.el` for task discovery
## Usage
The main entry point is a function `vscode-task-run`, you may want to bind it to
a key sequence
``` elisp
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c p t") 'vscode-task-run)
```
## Features
It currently only supports the simplest of task definitions.
``` json
{
"tasks": [
{
"label": "Task Name",
"type": "shell",
"command": "some-command"
}
]
}
```
## Limitations
This package cannot parse the full syntax of VSCode's `tasks.json` file as
VSCode accepts a less strict JSON syntax which can include comments and trailing
commas. In order for this package to read the file correctly these syntax
extensions must be removed.
