Makefiles etc. Many types of projects use arbitrary setup and build commands or can load arbitrary plugins, and unlike VS which imposes its own project format, VSC tries to be compatible with everything that people already use. Git hooks are another one.
- andy_ppp 10mo agoPlease see the reply to the other comment, obviously I wasn’t explicit enough in explaining I’m talking about code execution simply by opening a directory.
- direwolf20 10mo agoSome project types, such as Gradle or Maven projects, use arbitrary commands or plugins in project setup. You have to run arbitrary plugins to know which directories are the source directories, and you have to know which directories are the source directories to do anything in Java.
- andy_ppp 10mo agoThere’s no need to run that when opening a directory is there?
- direwolf20 10mo agoIf you just want to see the files in the directory, then sure. But VS Code is an IDE. It's made for editing software projects which have more structure than that.
