I'm unable to set default values for input variables of type pickStringRemember and promptStringRemember in VSCode with the "Command Variable"-Extension (v1.63.0)
I successfully passed input variables from launch.json to task.json in VSCode with the following configuration:
launch.json:
{"version": "0.2.0","configurations": [ {"type": "node","request": "launch","name": "Launch Program","program": "${workspaceFolder}/app.js ${input:ChooseModule} ${input:ChooseBaseNode}","preLaunchTask": "Build" }, ],"inputs": [ {"id": "ChooseModule","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.pickStringRemember","args": {"key": "Module","options": ["ModuleA.py","ModuleB.py","ModuleC.py", ],"description": "Choose a Module" }, }, {"id": "ChooseBaseNode","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.promptStringRemember","args": {"key": "BaseNode","description": "Base node", } }, ]}
task.json:
{"version": "2.0.0","tasks": [ {"label": "Build","type": "shell","command": "python","args": [ "build.py", "${input:ChooseModule}", "${input:ChooseBaseNode}" ], }, ],"inputs": [ {"id": "ChooseModule","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.remember","args": {"key": "Module", } }, {"id": "ChooseBaseNode","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.remember","args": {"key": "BaseNode" } } ]}
Launching the program, selecting "ModuleA" as Module and entering "Node1" as Node results in the line"Executing task: python build.py ModuleA.py Node1"in the Terminal, so the variables are passed successfully!!
Now I tried to set "ModuleC.py" and "Node2" as default values for the pick and the prompt with the following changes:
task.json:
..."options": ["ModuleA.py","ModuleB.py","ModuleC.py", ],"default": "ModuleC.py","description": "Choose a Module" ... ..."key": "BaseNode","default": "Node2""description": "Base node", ...
I expected to see the "ModuleC" item selected and on top of the pick-list (as it works with plain "pickString") and "Node2" selected and entered in the input field. But that's not the case! Neither the pick-list nor the input field shows and accepts the default values.
Whats wrong with my code ?
