- A description of the problem you're trying to solve:
./.vscode > tasks.json contains deprecated API tasks.identifier.
Reference: microsoft/vscode#57946 Further discussion see thread containing: microsoft/vscode#57707 (comment) Schema for tasks.json: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks-appendix
- An overview of the suggested solution Either:
- Remove
identifieras a parameter, (functionality is covered bylabel) or - Remove
./.vscode > tasks.jsonif configured tasks no longer needed - Remove .gitignore reference: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/90afd6d620f30bc47e862970a931ca0e207e6b28/.gitignore#L62
Note: tasks.identifier in tasks.json was introduced: 41567b2261 - Migrate tscWatchMode to vfs
update tasks API to new supported feature: TaskDefinitions: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#contributes.taskDefinitions
Documentation https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#contributes.taskDefinitions
Update: Install gulp using README.md steps, Cmd + Shift + B runs the gulp tests
Resolution: going to update the tasks.json to contain a task for each gulp item listed in README.md
gulp local # Build the compiler into built/local
gulp clean # Delete the built compiler
gulp LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
gulp tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
gulp runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use --host=<hostName> or --tests=<testPath>.
gulp baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from gulp runtests.
gulp lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
gulp help # List the above commands.
Gulpfile.js update to Gulpfile.ts
So tasks.json only needs configured tasks - out of the detected tasks see if there are any tests left which need configuring.

===================== Reference - tasks.json from original question asker: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurefunctions/blob/master/.vscode/tasks.json
Reference - tasks.json containing dependsOn: microsoft/vscode#31731
=====================
For reference, the VSCode lint error message under identifier reads:
"User defined identifiers are deprecated. For custom task use the name as a reference and for tasks provided by extensions use their defined task identifier. A user defined identifier to reference the task in launch.json or a dependsOn clause."

Side note: in .gitignore, tasks.json is listed but not ignored.
Boolean operator would indicate it is very specifically tracked
