To run custom command, then use shortcut Ctrl+Alt+K, or press F1 and then select/type Run Custom Command

Configuration

Make sure the executor PATH of each language is set in the environment variable.You could also add entry into code-runner.executorMap to set the executor PATH.e.g. To set the executor PATH for ruby, php and html:

Supported customized parameters

$workspaceRoot: The path of the folder opened in VS Code
$dir: The directory of the code file being run
$dirWithoutTrailingSlash: The directory of the code file being run without a trailing slash
$fullFileName: The full name of the code file being run
$fileName: The base name of the code file being run, that is the file without the directory
$fileNameWithoutExt: The base name of the code file being run without its extension
$driveLetter: The drive letter of the code file being run (Windows only)
$pythonPath: The path of Python interpreter (set by Python: Select Interpreter command)

Please take care of the back slash and the space in file path of the executor

Back slash: please use
If there ares spaces in file path, please use ' to surround your file path

You could set the executor per filename glob:

Besides, you could set the default language to run:

For the default language: It should be set with language id defined in VS Code. The languages you could set are java, c, cpp, javascript, php, python, perl, ruby, go, lua, groovy, powershell, bat, shellscript, fsharp, csharp, vbscript, typescript, coffeescript, swift, r, clojure, haxe, objective-c, rust, racket, ahk, autoit, kotlin, dart, pascal, haskell, nim, d, lisp

Also, you could set the executor per file extension:

To set the custom command to run:

To set the the working directory:

To set whether to clear previous output before each run (default is false):

To set whether to save all files before running (default is false):

To set whether to save the current file before running (default is false):

To set whether to show extra execution message like [Running] ... and [Done] ... (default is true):

[REPL support] To set whether to run code in Integrated Terminal (only support to run whole file in Integrated Terminal, neither untitled file nor code snippet) (default is false):

To set whether to preserve focus on code editor after code run is triggered (default is true, the code editor will keep focus; when it is false, Terminal or Output Channel will take focus):

code-runner.ignoreSelection: Whether to ignore selection to always run entire file. (Default is false)

code-runner.showRunIconInEditorTitleMenu: Whether to show 'Run Code' icon in editor title menu. (Default is true)

code-runner.showRunCommandInEditorContextMenu: Whether to show 'Run Code' command in editor context menu. (Default is true)

code-runner.showRunCommandInExplorerContextMenu: Whether to show 'Run Code' command in explorer context menu. (Default is true)

code-runner.terminalRoot: For Windows system, replaces the Windows style drive letter in the command with a Unix style root when using a custom shell as the terminal, like Bash or Cgywin. Example: Setting this to /mnt/ will replace C:path with /mnt/c/path (Default is ')

code-runner.temporaryFileName: Temporary file name used in running selected code snippet. When it is set as empty, the file name will be random. (Default is 'tempCodeRunnerFile')

code-runner.respectShebang: Whether to respect Shebang to run code. (Default is true)

About CWD Setting (current working directory)

By default, use the code-runner.cwd setting
If code-runner.cwd is not set and code-runner.fileDirectoryAsCwd is true, use the directory of the file to be executed
If code-runner.cwd is not set and code-runner.fileDirectoryAsCwd is false, use the path of root folder that is open in VS Code
If no folder is open, use the os temp folder

Note

For Objective-C, it is only supported on macOS
To run C# script, you need to install scriptcs
To run TypeScript, you need to install ts-node
To run Clojure, you need to install Leiningen and lein-exec

By default, telemetry data collection is turned on to understand user behavior to improve this extension. To disable it, update the settings.json as below:

In this post we will walk you through a basic Haskell setup utilizing Visual Studio Code (Code Editor / IDE). We will need to install Visual Studio Code, GHC (the Glasgow Haskell Compiler), Stack(Haskell build tool), Cabal (Haskell package manager / build tool), Haskero (Visual Studio plugin that enables Haskell support), and Intero (powers the IDE like features in Haskero).

Install Visual Studio Code

Let’s start off by installing Visual Studio Code. Head to https://code.visualstudio.com/ and download the correct version for your operating system and install it.

Install Haskell Platform

Next let’s go ahead and go to https://www.haskell.org/platform/ and download the latest version of the Haskell Platform for your operating system and install it (in some cases you can simply install it with your OS’s package manager). The Haskell Platform includes GHC, Cabal, and Stack (all of which we need).

Load up a terminal window (or command-prompt in windows) and try the following commands (to output the version of each) to make sure they all installed successfully.

Test for GHC’s version: ghc --version

Test for Cabal’s version: cabal --version

Test for Stack’s version: stack --version

If any of them did not install (ie. the command is unrecognized) then you’ll need to go to their respective page (GHC, Cabal, Stack) and follow the instructions.

Install Haskero in Visual Studio Code

Load up Visual Studio Code. Click on the Extensions Icon of the far left (it looks like a square and is at the bottom of the icons list). Search for the Haskero extension. Install Haskero by clicking on the install button. Exit out of Visual Studio Code after installing Haskero.

Creating your first Haskell Project using Stack

Open up a terminal window and navigate to the directory you wish to create your haskell project in. Type the following command:

This creates a stack project named MyFirstHaskellProject using the new-template template. This creates a directory named MyFirstHaskellProject in the working directory which contains the project. MyFirstHaskellProject can be changed to whatever name desired. Different templates can be used other then the new-template template when started a new project. The templates available can be listed out by typing stack templates in the terminal.

Adding Intero to your Project

NOTE: you may need to upgrade your stack version & try again if the following steps fail.

Now that we’ve made a project go ahead and change directories to the MyFirstHaskellProject directory created by stack in the terminal. First run stack setup to setup stack. Next run stack build to build the project. This will build the project. Now run stack build intero to setup Intero for the project. This will allow Haskero to work correctly. Finally run code . to load up the project in Visual Studio Code. Haskero should now be working correctly. If Haskero is having issues finding stack then you’ll need to make sure that stack is on the system path (or mess with the Haskero configuration so that it has the correct location to run stack from). You can use the command stack build --exec MyFirstHaskellProject to compile and then run the built executable.

Looking around the newly created project

In the project you should see a few files & directories have been created for you. MyFirstHaskellProject.cabal & stack.yaml are filled with settings used when building the project. app/Main.hs is the Haskell file containing the entry point of the application. The src & test directories are to contain source code and test code respectively.

Future projects

Here’s a list of what you need to do in the future when starting a new project.

Run stack new MyFirstHaskellProject new-template to initialize a new project.
Change directories in terminal to the new project.
Run stack build to do an initial build of the project.
Run stack build intero to add Intero to the project.
Run code . to start Visual Studio Code with the project loaded up.
