VSCode - 任务 2.0.0 版：如何使用“输出”控制台，而不是终端

Question

I have a task at version 0.1.0 that I try to migrate to 2.0.0.

This task simply transpiles Typescript to Javascript using a Gulp script. The output is shown in the "output" console, there is no terminal involved and I want it to keep it that way (mostly because of the infamous message " Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. " at the end of any command in the terminal!).

I can't see how to migrate this task to version 2.0.0 so no terminal is involved!

Here's the version 0.1.0 :

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/gulp",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "showOutput": "always",
    "suppressTaskName": true,
    "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "compile",
            "args": [
                "compile",
                "exit"
            ],
            "isBuildCommand": true,
            "problemMatcher": "$tsc"
        }
    ]
}

Here's my current try for version 2.0.0 :

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "identifier": "compile",
            "type": "shell",
            "taskName": "compile",
            "presentation": {
                "echo": true,
                "reveal": "always",
                "focus": true,
                "panel": "new"
            },
            "command": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/gulp compile exit",
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$tsc"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

This does show the output in the integrated terminal.

How can I make it use the output console instead?

Answer 1

Using the tasks panel is the recommended way to go, but if you really need to use the output panel. You'd need to implement a CustomExecution and get the output of your command. Then to write to the output panel, first you would need to create a dedicated output channel and write to it:

let outputChannel = vscode.window.createOutputChannel('channelName');
outputChannel.appendLine('message');

Answer 2

尝试将"reveal": "always",改为"reveal": "never",
