Visual Studio Code Extension ​

Task has an official extension for Visual Studio Code. The code for this project can be found here. To use this extension, you must have Task v3.23.0+ installed on your system.

This extension provides the following features (and more):

  • View tasks in the sidebar.
  • Run tasks from the sidebar and command palette.
  • Go to definition from the sidebar and command palette.
  • Run last task command.
  • Multi-root workspace support.
  • Initialize a Taskfile in the current workspace.

To get autocompletion and validation for your Taskfile, see the Schema section below.

Task for Visual Studio Code

Schema ​

This was initially created by @KROSF in this Gist and is now officially maintained in this file and made available at https://taskfile.dev/schema.json. This schema can be used to validate Taskfiles and provide autocompletion in many code editors:

Visual Studio Code ​

To integrate the schema into VS Code, you need to install the YAML extension by Red Hat. Any Taskfile.yml in your project should automatically be detected and validation/autocompletion should work. If this doesn't work or you want to manually configure it for files with a different name, you can add the following to your settings.json:

json
// settings.json
{
  "yaml.schemas": {
    "https://taskfile.dev/schema.json": [
      "**/Taskfile.yml",
      "./path/to/any/other/taskfile.yml"
    ]
  }
}

You can also configure the schema directly inside of a Taskfile by adding the following comment to the top of the file:

yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://taskfile.dev/schema.json
version: '3'

You can find more information on this in the YAML language server project.

Community Integrations ​

In addition to our official integrations, there is an amazing community of developers who have created their own integrations for Task:
