Well, I figured out a way, but Id still like to know if its possible with tasks or launching. but theres gotta be a way, right? What exactly is VS Code looking for to terminate the task? How can I fudge this? Is there a way I can do this? I mean sure its just a little notification and an extra step I have to take. it doesnt give any errors, but it doesnt actually run the executable so I'm not sure where I went wrong, either way there is nothing to actually debug, no output for vs code to interpret. So I thought maybe setting this up as a task is not the right thing and I tried to get it working the same way with launch.js, but it never actually opened autohotkey. When I want to reload the script, I get a notification all the way down in the bottom corner saying the task is still running do I want to terminate or restart. I added the authotkey folder as a system path, and when I run the task it works great.īut, the terminal sits there thinking its still running a task - the task never ends.

'detail': 'Load script into AutoHotKeyU64.exe and run' No big deal I thought, I can figure out a way to do this myself. I have an extension installed which has a run script feature, but the way its coded doesnt account for there being spaces in directory or file names, so it doesnt work for me.

No output to analyze, nothing to actually debug. I'm trying to setup a task or a launcher for AutoHotKey scripts in VS Code which simply runs autohotkey from the commandline with the file location and a switch as an argument. Please forgive me if this comes across as silly or dumb, but I'm new to vscode and getting back into programming in general and Ive run into this 'issue' and have hit a wall.
