Use variant Variables not only in settings.json but also in tasks.json #3432

Open WAleemS opened 11 months ago

WAleemS commented 11 months ago

Brief Issue Summary

Using variables like ${variant:buildType} in settings.json works. For example: settings.json: ... , "cmake.buildDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}/cmake_build/${variant:Target}/${variant:buildType}/GCC_ARM", ... Using the same Variables in tasks.json does not get substituted: tasks.json: ... , { "label": "echo", "type": "shell", "command": "echo ${variant:Target}" }, ... Runnign task "echo" just prints ${variant:Target} without substituting the currently selected varaint buildType

@WAleemS thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll add it to our backlog and work on it as soon as we have capacity.

Hi! Any updates on this? My projects rely on multiple variants and a lot of tasks and it will save me a lot of time in writing and using the tasks.
