How do I get exit code after running command in integrated terminal in vscode

Question

After running terminal.sendtext("some command"), how do I get the exit code of the command? If this is not possible, is there a way to run the command in external terminal(using something likechild_process.spawnSync()) and get the exit code?

Answer 1

You could use the new terminal exit api, see v1.71 Release Notes: terminal exit status api:

TerminalExitStatus.reason

Extension authors now have better insight into why a terminal exited via the new TerminalExitReason API.

export enum TerminalExitReason {
  Unknown = 0,
  Shutdown = 1,
  Process = 2,
  User = 3,
  Extension = 4,
}
