workspaceTasks.compoundTasks.defaultExecutionType

   
Type: string
Default: "sequential"
Options: "sequential", "parallel"
Scope: application

The default execution mode for new compound tasks (queues).

  • sequential - Tasks in the queue run one after the other, in order
  • parallel - All tasks in the queue start simultaneously

This value is used when a compound task is created without an explicit execution type. Existing compound tasks that have an explicitly saved type are not affected.

Example:

{
  "workspaceTasks.compoundTasks.defaultExecutionType": "sequential"
}

workspaceTasks.compoundTasks.includeVsCodeCompoundTasks

   
Type: boolean
Default: false
Scope: application

When true, compound tasks defined in the workspace’s .vscode/tasks.json file (tasks that use dependsOn) are also shown in the Compound Tasks tree. When false, only compound tasks managed by this extension are shown.

Example:

{
  "workspaceTasks.compoundTasks.includeVsCodeCompoundTasks": true
}
