Application Path Settings
These settings allow you to specify custom executable paths for build tools and task runners supported by the extension. On all platforms, ~/ in a path is automatically expanded to the user’s home directory. On Windows, if a path ends with the bare executable name (e.g. ant, not ant.exe), the appropriate extension (.exe, .bat, .cmd) is appended automatically.
Some tools have dedicated sub-pages with additional tool-specific settings:
| Sub-section | Description |
|---|---|
| Act | Run GitHub Actions locally with act |
| Ant | Ant build tool and ANSICON settings |
| CMake | CMake build system settings |
