Run a program on cmd right after compilation (Code Runner plugin on vscode)

I installed Code Runner to compile my C code. I want the .exe will be directly opened on my cmd after compiling the program like the way Visual Studio is working.

How can I do that?

Solution

  • as it mentions in the marketplace

    Go to VS Code > Preferences:

    • Then Type: Code Runner

    Code Runner

    You will see Code-Runner: Executor-Map click on Edit in settings.json, You'll see something like this: 

    {
    "window.zoomLevel": 0,
    "C_Cpp.updateChannel": "Insiders",
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
    "workbench.iconTheme": "material-icon-theme",
    "editor.suggestSelection": "first",
    "vsintellicode.modify.editor.suggestSelection": "automaticallyOverrodeDefaultValue",
    "java.configuration.checkProjectSettingsExclusions": false,
    "explorer.confirmDelete": false,
    "javascript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled": "always",
    "explorer.confirmDragAndDrop": false
}

    Then add this below "explorer.confirmDragAndDrop": false, like this:

    {
    "window.zoomLevel": 0,
    "C_Cpp.updateChannel": "Insiders",
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
    "workbench.iconTheme": "material-icon-theme",
    "editor.suggestSelection": "first",
    "vsintellicode.modify.editor.suggestSelection": "automaticallyOverrodeDefaultValue",
    "java.configuration.checkProjectSettingsExclusions": false,
    "explorer.confirmDelete": false,
    "javascript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled": "always",
    "explorer.confirmDragAndDrop": false,
    "code-runner.executorMap": {
        "javascript": "nodejs",
        "c": "cd $dir && gcc $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && start $dir$fileName"
    }
}

    And Congratulations :)
