Define multiple tasks in VSCode

Question

I have seen that it is possible to define a task in the VSCode. But I am not sure how to define multiple tasks in the tasks.json file.

Answer 1

I don't know the proper answer to this (and would also like to know), but my ugly workaround in case it helps anyone. I'm on Windows, I've ended up creating myself a simple batch script which could contain simply

"%1" "%2"

Then my tasks.json looks something like

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "c:\\...\\mytasks.bat"
    "tasks" : [
        {
            "taskName": "myFirstTask",
            "args": "c:\\...\\task1.exe", "${file}"],
        },
        {
            "taskName": "mySecondTask",
            "args": "c:\\...\\task2.exe", "${file}"],
        },
    ]
}
