Does anyone have vscode build setup for xHarbour commercial builder xbuild.exe,
more precicely to pass xbuild error output to vscode ?


Output on terminal:

* Executing task: d:\xhb201801\bin\xbuild.exe d:\fivewin\xharbour\wpv\exe2022\wpohivah.exe.xbp -CON

Nothing appeares on "Problems" panel in vscode.


"problemMatches" section suggested by chatgpt :-)

Thanks,

With chatgpt I was able to get correct problemMatcher pattern with 3 test samples, seems really amazing..

Maybe it will help someone as first step to switch to vscode:

Sample build task for vscode using xharbour builder:

{

"version": "2.0.0",

"tasks": [

{

  "label": "Build with xBuild",

  "type": "shell",

  "command": "d:\\xhb201801\\bin\\xbuild.exe",

  "args": [

    "d:\\fivewin\\xharbour\\wpv\\exe2022\\wpohivah.exe.xbp",

    "-CON",

    "-NoErr"

    ],

  "options": {

    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"

  },

  "group": {

    "kind": "build",

    "isDefault": true

  },

"problemMatcher": {

"owner": "xharbour",

"fileLocation": ["absolute"],

"pattern": {

"regexp": "^([A-Z]:.*\\.PRG)\\((\\d+)\\)\\s+(Error|Warning)\\s+([EW]\\d+)\\s+(.*)$",

"file": 1,

"line": 2,

"severity": 3,

"code": 4,

"message": 5

}

}

}

]

}

Dear Taavi,

Basically the idea is to generate a log file and then provide it to Copilot agent, so it can analyze it and continue its work
