Multistart - light-weight extension to run multiple process in vscode embedded terminal.

1. Add extensions config in your workspace settings.
2. Find multistart icon in your sidebar
3. Choose desire template and run it :)

• multistart.templates: Array of objects, that contains declarative instruction for template(name, process). Each object contains set of properties:

  • name - human-readable name of template (For example local-auth-testing, web-client, etc.)
  • processes - array of object, contains instructions which will be run in separate vscode terminal
    • name - the name of the process, will be shown in the list of terminals
    • dirPath - location where instructions should be executed, optional parameter
    • instructions - list of instructions, which will be executed one by one in separate vscode terminal

  "multistart.templates": [
    {
      "name": "test1",
      "processes": [
        {
          "name": "echo1",
          "dirPath": "/",
          "instructions": [["echo", "'Hello from echo1'"]]
        },
        {
          "name": "smart-contracts tests",
          "dirPath": "./smart-contracts",
          "instructions": [
            ["echo", "'Running tests'"],
            ["npm", "run", "test"]
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "test2",
      "processes": [
        {
          "name": "echo2",
          "instructions": [["echo", "'Hello from echo2'"]]
        },
        {
          "name": "web-app",
          "dirPath": "./web-app",
          "instructions": [
            ["echo", "'Running web-app'"],
            ["npm", "run", "start"]
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
