Using VS Code tasks to run OpenFOAM scripts

Running OpenFOAM with VS Code Tasks

Accompanies OnCFD Newsletter #171

Attached is an example tasks.json file for running your Allrun & Allclean OpenFOAM scripts in VS Code via Tasks.

In VS Code, use cmd/ctrl + shift + p to bring up the command palette & type Tasks: Open User Tasks

Choose the Others option & it will create a tasks.json file in your user area & pop it open in the editor.

You could replace the contents of that file, with the contents of the one below 👇 (or just use it to crib from).

To run your new tasks: use cmd/ctrl + shift + p to bring up the palette, type "Run Tasks" & choose your task.

For more info see the original article 👋
