Run a command when VSCode starts, based on some conditions. Built to run Wallaby.js automatically on projects that have a config. I decided to make it a bit more generic to play around with the API (and because developing an extension there is super smooth! Awesome work VSCode guys!)

The way this extension works is by reading a list of rules from your settings. Each rule is evaluated and if the rule's condition is met, a command is ran.

A rule consists of a condition, a command and an optional message. The message will be shown if the condition is met.

You need to open your settings: File -> Preferences -> User Settings, and add a rule. Check below for examples.

ProTip™: Both command and condition accept arrays. If you pass in multiple conditions, all of them have to be met. If multiple commands are passed, all of the will run.

Note: commands run after a 5s delay to ensure the command was registered. If there's a better way to do that other than delaying, let me know!

1. Simple -Running wallaby.js when vscode opens on a folder with a config file

"auto-run-command.rules": [
		{
			"condition": "hasFile: wallaby.js",
			"command": "wallaby.start",
			"message": "Running wallaby"
		}
	]

2. Running some command (assuming an extension exposed it) when vscode opens on a specific project containing a specific file

"auto-run-command.rules": [
		{
			"condition": [
				"hasFile: special-file",
				"isRootFolder: my-coolz-prodgekt"
			]
			"command": "crazy-ext.do-magic",
			"message": "Super condition met. Running "
		}
	]

#Supported rules

Initial release of auto-run-command

• To run locally just open the project and debug using vscode.
• To add more rules check out src/lib/condition-parser.ts and src/lib/condition-checker.ts. Make sure to add a test on the parser too
