Build tasks in vscode
Posted: Sat Oct 30, 2021 8:14 amPossibly a question for vscode but I've looked and cannot get it working.
I am using vscode on Windows to Verify / Upload images, I wish to add a pre-build task (UpdateVer) to update the software version using a small powershell script, I have added a section into tasks with a dependsOn dependency but I cannot get it to run - I have added a simpler task (called pre-build) to check things and this also does not run.
Where am I going wrong please?
