[Question] Is it possible to automatically terminate a processing Sketch by building a new one? #76

Open codevogel opened 5 years ago

If I press CTRL+SHIFT+B to build a new version of my Sketch and run it, and then edit a few variables, and press CTRL+SHIFT+B again, I'll get VSCode telling me the following:

Firstly, there is no keyboard shortcut for selecting either 'Terminate Task' or 'Restart Task', so you'd still have to use the mouse to choose either option.

Even if you restart/terminate the task, it will terminate the previous task, and potentially restart it again. This builds a new version of the sketch and runs it.

However, the previous Processing sketch will still be open. So you'll now be looking at two sketches, one old, one new.

Currently I have to close the processing sketch by first switching from vscode to the window, and then closing it, then switch back to vscode and CTRL+SHIFT+B again.

Is it possible to set it up in such a way that you could just press CTRL+SHIFT+B again and have it close your previous sketch and build and launch a new one?

I could set up something like a globally active AHK script that terminates the process with my sketches name whenever I press CTRL+SHIFT+B, but I can see that causing some potential issues as well.

Your help is much appreciated!

PS: I don't seem to be able to label this issue as a Question?

I'm not sure if this is possible given what I have access to in VSCode.

This may actually be fixed (or easier to fix) when I address #67 and have a custom terminal I can terminate when the extension is triggered?

Thanks for the reply.

If anyone knows of a work around (if there's some other way to terminate the task when you shut down the application), then please let me know.

Just adding a reply to see if there is a workaround for this in 2022. Would love to be able to disable that dialog box! Thanks ;)

I found this workaround but cannot make it work for me - probably due to my inexpereince of this depth programming. Maybe someone else can figure it out.
