Restart task if is already running

Question

i have this task that is server for my application:

"tasks": [
    {
        "label": "f1",
        "type": "shell",
        "command": "gunicorn",
        "args": [
            "main:api"
        ],
        "isBackground": true,
    },
]

is mapped on key "F1", now, if this task is active, when i press F1, i want to kill it and start again. So i don't have to press CTRL-C each time i write new function.

How i can implement this behaivor? - Thanks

Answer 1

As suggested by @jahuuar, there's a command for this:

Open the command palette (CMD/CTRL + Shift + P or Menu>View>Command Palette) and type "restart", you'll see "Tasks: Restart Running Task". If that's what you are looking for (it will ask for the task to restart, even if there is only one... Oo), you can then map a keyboard shortcut to that command.

As per Visual Studio Code Version 1.39.0 , You can right click the Output Area and choose

"Stop Code Run"

. Hope this is what you are looking for. Thanks
