Cannot see output when task finish about overseer.nvim HOT 6 CLOSED

is a way to avoid overseer to close the open floating terminal when a task finish?

I'm surprised by this question because by default when a task finishes it should notify and start a timer for cleanup, but nothing else. Can you provide a minimal config + command that reproduces this?

I saw that is possible to show the output in quickfix buffer. There is a way to do it with a VS Code task?

Yes, I thought I documented this, but I guess I didn't. You can specify custom components for VS Code tasks by using the default_vscode component alias

require("overseer").setup({
  component_aliases = {
    default_vscode = {
      "default",
      "on_output_quickfix",
    },
  },
})

I'll add some documentation about this

is there an api to list all tasks defined in tasks.json?

The official API doesn't have this, but there is an unofficial API that is nonetheless mostly stable. I may decide to promote this to a supported interface

require("overseer.template").list({
  dir = vim.fn.getcwd(),
}, function(templates)
  for _, tmpl in ipairs(templates) do
    if tmpl.module == "vscode" then
      print(string.format("tmpl %s", tmpl.name))
    end
  end
end)

I need to go get on a plane, but I'll come back to this after this weekend

On the project I'm workign on, we use make to run commands on a docker running instance. Something like:

make docker_run_cmd ......

I'll try to reproduce it with a simple configuration. I have no problem with scripts that returns exit codes. They do not close the terminal and I can reopen it when they finishes. But I have the problem with the commands like the one above.

Hi again. Sorry but still didn't had the time to get a working example for my issue. In the meantime I would like to come back to something related to the "Offtopic2" question: I would like to show a file chooser dialog (or a list of file that follow a specific naming pattern) when I select a task to run against a specific file. I was looking into VS Code variable substitution but I still don't know how to achieve this.

I don't think tasks.json supports that exactly. From the VS Code docs, pickString lets you specify a set of options, but there's no way to dynamically generate options based on a file pattern.

If you want to run the task on the currently-open file, you can use the ${file} variable as described in the Predefined variables section.

I've found this answere on stackoverflow that suggests that should possible in VSC but I don't know if it will work on overseer too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72198810/run-vs-code-task-on-specific-file-folder-selectable-via-a-drop-down-list

The first example using pickString is supported, the second with extension.commandvariable.pickStringRemember is not.
