Dsiplaying compound Tasks

[nschuetz1311]

Is there a way to have compound tasks displayed in the status bar?

That's what my task.json looks like:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "build_edk2_solution",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "devenv",
            "args": [
                "EDK-II.sln",
                "/build"
            ],
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}\\EDK-II"
            },
            "presentation": {
                "echo": false,
                "reveal": "always",
                "focus": false,
                "panel": "shared",
                "showReuseMessage": false,
                "clear": false
            }
        },
        {
            "label": "current_solution",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "devenv",
            "args": [
                "${fileBasenameNoExtension}.sln",
                "/build"
            ],
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}\\Applications\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
            },
            "presentation": {
                "echo": true,
                "reveal": "always",
                "focus": false,
                "panel": "shared",
                "showReuseMessage": false,
                "clear": false
            }
        },
        {
            /**
             * There should probably be a way to distinguish between
             * build only current file, and build current file
             * after rebuilding
             * all of the libs.
             */
            "label": "Build current solution",
            "type": "shell",
            "dependsOrder": "sequence",
            "dependsOn": [
                "build_edk2_solution",
                "current_solution",
            ],
            "group": "build",
            "presentation": {
                "echo": false,
                "reveal": "always",
                "focus": false,
                "panel": "shared",
                "showReuseMessage": false,
                "clear": false
            }
        },
    ]
}

right now the status bar only displays "build_edk2_solution" and "current_solution", however, I'd actually want to only display the compound task "Build current solution". I know that hiding those would be possible via "hide": true, but I want to ensure that a certain Task is displayed. Tasks are only displayed in the status bar if they have a "command" - option, my compound tasks do not need those.

That works,

thank you for the quick fix.
