Hi,
I'm working on the following features:

code explorer (outline panel on the left)
code validation

Hi,

I'm using this code to compile on OSX. The Compile works, but the Run not.
What is wrong?

Code:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Compile (test)",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "${PUREBASIC_HOME}/compilers/pbcompiler -e myTestApp.app -d -o PB_Editor_CreateExecutable=1 Test_PB.pb",
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        },
        {
            "label": "Compile (build)",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "${PUREBASIC_HOME}/compilers/pbcompiler -e myTestApp.app -o PB_Editor_CreateExecutable=1 Test_PB.pb",
            "group": "build",

            
        },
        {
            "label": "Run",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "~/Desktop/myTestApp",
            "dependsOn": [
                "Compile (test)"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "test",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

AFAIK, the "group" must be a hash containing a "kind" property (just like you already configured for the "Compile (test)" task).

I try this but it runs only if I use "Run Task... / Run". It will not start if I use "Run Task... / Compile (test)".
Also I get no debugger output.

Code:

{
            "label": "Run",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "open 'myTestApp.app'",
            "dependsOn": [
                "Compile (test)"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "test",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "problemMatcher": []
        }

Code:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",

    "options": {
        "env": {
            "mainFile" : "myMainFile.pb",
            "appName" : "myAppName",

            "PUREBASIC_HOME": "/Applications/PureBasic_562_x64.app/Contents/Resources",
            }
            },

    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Compile (test)",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "pbcompiler -e ${appName}.app -d -t -f -ibp -o PB_Editor_CreateExecutable=1 ${mainFile}",
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$eslint-compact"
            ]
        },
        {
            "label": "Compile (build)",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "pbcompiler -e ${appName}.app -t -f -o PB_Editor_CreateExecutable=1 ${mainFile}",
            "group": "build",
            "problemMatcher": []
        },
        {
            "label": "Run",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "${appName}.app/Contents/MacOS/${appName}",
            "dependsOn": [
                "Compile (test)"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ]
}

So how do we compile our PureBasic apps with this? I press F5 and get prompted to select an environment, which Eddy's is already installed (both). Confused.

This is an example of the tasks.json file for OSX.
It seams you are on Windows.

I still don't get it. The screenshots are of Windows apps. What is the point of this entire thread? Is it for compiling PureBasic code in Visual Studio Code or not? That's how it appears.

Visual Studio Code is cross platform and Eddy wrote an plugin for it to be able to write PB code with it.
You can download the plugins over the plugin manager of Visual Studio Code.
To be able to compile the code on macOS too you need to modify the tasks.json.
