1. Right Click a file, then
   • Run *.js in node
   • Run *.ts corresponding compiled *.js in node
   • Run *.bat, *.cmd, *.sh to start a task:
     • Run a watcher in a new integrated terminal in vscode
     • Run a server in a new terminal windows out of vscode
   • Open binary file in default application or the application you like
2. Automatic switch working directory when run different file in a different folder in the workspace.
3. New! More mode to control the behavior of terminal and panel.

After configuration, right Click a file, then select the menu item "Run As ...".

Open VSCode setting (Ctrl+Comma), search for "runas" to change configuration:

An array of globs-to-cmd.

"RunAs.globsMapToCommand": [...]

globs-to-cmd structure:

{
    "globs": "*.*",
    "mode": "silent",
    "command": {
        "win32": "start ${rPath}",
        "linux": "see ${rPath}",
        "darwin": "open ${rPath}"
    },
    "exceptions": [...] // An array of `globs-to-cmd`.
}

A pattern to match file's path name.

{
    "globs": "\\[*\\]*.cmd",
    // ...
}

PS: you need to use \\ instead of \ to escape character in Globs.

The command runs in shell after selecting the menu item "Run as ...".

1.2.1 command template(s)

• A general command, example:

  {
      // ...
      "command": "node ${rPath}"
  }

• Or a platform-to-command map, example:

  {
      // ...
      "command": {
          "win32": "start ${rPath}",
          "linux": "see ${rPath}",
          "darwin": "open ${rPath}"
      }
  }

1.2.2 command argument - path: ${...}

A javascript code snippet, it looks like ${/* javascript */}. It can be:

1. A variable, example: ${rPath}
2. A template string, example: ${`out/${dir}/${sFile}.js`}
   • See: Table: Variable Meaning
3. A javascript code snippet, example: ${file.replace(/(\\/(?:src|test)\\/)/, '/out$1').replace(/ts$/, 'js')}, this code snippet in default configuration means right click to run *.ts but actually execute the *.js in folder out.
   • PS: you need to use \\ instead of \ to escape character in RegExp literal.

1.2.3 command prefix: @ + terminal mode

A quick way to set terminal mode for one command.

{
    // ...
    "command": "@silent start ${rPath}"
}

{
    // ...
    "mode": "silent",
}

Set terminal mode for commands on different platforms, it decides the behaviors of the terminal and the panel. Default value is equal to "RunAs.runInNewTerminalWindows.enable".

Available terminal mode:

1. silent: Execute a command in the integrated terminal, but don't show the panel if you had not opened it.
2. in: Execute a command in the integrated terminal, and show the panel for printing the results.
3. block: Execute a command in a new integrated terminal for a task which will block the terminal.
4. out: Execute a command in a new terminal window out of vscode.

A array of globs-to-command mapping, files matched one of them will execute itself command instead of its parent's command.

{
    // ...
    "exceptions": [{
        "globs": "*.@(bat|cmd|exe)",
        "command": ".\\${rPath}"
    }]
}

"RunAs.runInNewTerminalWindows": {
    "enable": false,
    "globs": "New Terminal Window",
    "command": {
        "win32": "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c ${command}'",
        "linux": "gnome-terminal -x bash -c '${command}'"
    }
}

In "RunAs.runInNewTerminalWindows.commands",

• The key is platform string in VSCode:
  • Windows: "win32",
  • Linux: "linux"
  • Mac OS: "darwin"
• The value is the command to execute a command in a new terminal windows in this platform, e.g. "start ${command}".
  • ${command} will be replaced by the command in globs-to-command mapping.

You can run the command in a new terminal windows in default by changing "RunAs.runInNewTerminalWindows.enable" to true, or you can use the prefix @out in the command to use it alone.

Press F1 in VSCode, type ext install and then look for "Run as ..." .

• I do not know how to pass a command to a new terminal to execute it in Mac OS, but you can configure it by yourself.
