Tasks

Note that shell tasks are alway run in a non-interactive shell even if you try to force giving the --interactive arg to the shell. In this example, system ruby is run instead of the ruby installed in my user account using asdf. This is because I have configured asdf in my .zshrc was not sourced.

{
  "type": "shell",
  "label": "",
  "options": {
    "shell": {
      "executable": "/bin/zsh",
      "args": ["--login", "--interactive", "-c"]
    }
  },
  "command": "ruby --version"
}

To see the ruby in my account, I found that either sourcing .zshrc works:

  "command": "source ~/.zshrc && ruby --version"

or running a subshell passing the interactive and login args:

  "command": "zsh --login --interactive -c -- ruby --version"
