Running the contributed command 'shellCommand.execute' failed

[rafal19921989]

When I use the example of this extension I always have a problem: "Running the contributed command 'shellCommand.execute' failed"

I'm sorry. I'm having very few time at the moment to troubleshoot this.

@hwmaier @Penguinang could you check if the changes of one of you caused this?

[Penguinang]

@rafalszuta It means that your shell failed to execute. Can you execute it in terminal with an exit code of zero

[Penguinang]

By the way, is your OS linux, windows, or mac? On linux and macos, the default shell is sh, NOT bash or your system's default shell. Can you try your shell command in the /bin/sh shell?

Hi All! I'm using Windows 10 I'm trying to use your extension to list all files in the given directory

This is my tasks.json file: { "version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ { "label": "Nested input", "command": "echo ${input:pickTest}", "type": "shell", "problemMatcher": [], }, "inputs": [ { "id": "pickTest", "type": "command", "command": "shellCommand.execute", "args": { "command": "ls" } }, ] }

I see that you added an info: command: the system command to be executed (must be in PATH)

I checked and I have the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 within PATH

I'm not sure, but I suspect the shell actually being used might be cmd.exe instead of powershell. Does ls command fails to work in cmd.exe?

[rafal19921989]

For cmd.exe is dir command instead ls. So how can I use powershel as the used console in VsCode tasks.json?

At the moment it is not possible. It was implemented to use the default from vscode settings but we had to revert because of #9

since I don’t have a windows machine I can’t test and fix it, I can't do much.

[Penguinang]

@rafalszuta I think maybe you can specify powershell in "command" variable, like

"command": "powershell -Command \"echo 1\";"
