Support for compiling in sub directories about vscode-as3mxml HOT 3 CLOSED

If I move the asconfig.json to the root of the project and then run it I get the following error:

Error: The actionscript task detection didn't contribute a task for the following configuration:
{
    "type": "actionscript",
    "debug": true,
    "asconfig": "asconfig.json",
    "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
    },
    "problemMatcher": [],
    "label": "ActionScript: compile debug - asconfig.json"
}
The task will be ignored.

Moved asconfig.json:

{
	"config": "js",
	"compilerOptions": {
		"source-path": [
			"public",
			"/public"
		],
		"js-output": "bin",
		"source-map": true
	},
	"mainClass": "MyApp"
}

from vscode-as3mxml.

If I move the asconfig file to the root directory, then rename the source directory to src and move the as file to the src directory then I can get it to run:

{
	"config": "js",
	"compilerOptions": {
		"source-path": [
			"src"
		],
		"html-template": "template.html",
		"source-map": true
	},
	"mainClass": "MyApp"
}

I also added the template.html option back into to the compiler and then updated the task:

tasks:

		{
			"type": "actionscript",
			"debug": false,
			"group": {
				"kind": "build",
				"isDefault": true
			},
			"problemMatcher": [],
			"label": "ActionScript: compile release - asconfig.json"
		}

So it works with the default project structure but for me not with a different structure than default.

I have a project where I have the AS file in a project sub directory and I'm having issues.

Adding public to the source-path of public/asconfig.json wouldn't work here because there is no public/public directory, so the error is correct. The source-path, if it is not absolute, is supposed to be relative to the directory that contains asconfig.json.

If I remove the source path argument or if I use a dot or a slash (for current directory) I get another error:

If a dot doesn't work, that's definitely a bug.

If the file is asconfig.json in the root directory, remove the line: "asconfig": "asconfig.json". The asconfig field in tasks.json is needed only for a non-default location. I wish that I could allow "asconfig": "asconfig.json" and no asconfig field at all to mean the same thing, but it is a limitation of VSCode's task system not to allow missing fields to be resolved dynamically.
