"problemMatcher": "$msCompile" in tasks.json no longer properly matches problems. #2300
Description
Describe the Issue
problemMatcher is no longer matching on build and there is no documentation on how to do this properly anymore, it is relying on magic instead of exlicit definition in tasks.json
Steps To Reproduce
Add this to tasks:
{
"type": "shell",
"label": "dotnet: build",
"detail": "Builds the Entire Solution",
"command": "dotnet",
"args": [
"build",
"${workspaceFolder}",
"/property:GenerateFullPaths=true",
"/consoleloggerparameters:NoSummary"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
},
Create code with an error
then press CTRL+SHIFT+B
Make sure you have no problems detected before you do this.
It won't show the errors in problems.
And if you do this:
{
"type": "shell",
"label": "dotnet: build",
"detail": "Builds the Entire Solution",
"command": "dotnet",
"args": [
"build",
"${workspaceFolder}",
"/property:GenerateFullPaths=true",
"/consoleloggerparameters:NoSummary"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"problemMatcher": {
"owner": "msbuild",
"source": "msbuild",
"fileLocation": "absolute",
"pattern": {
"regexp": "^(.*)\\((\\d+),(\\d+)\\):\\s+(error|warning)\\s+(\\w+)\\d+:\\s+(.*)$",
"file": 1,
"line": 2,
"column": 3,
"severity": 4,
"code": 5,
"message": 6
}
}
},
Which AI generates to fix it, it does fix it, but when you fix the error in the file, the problems don't update automatically, you have to rebuild to see them updated unlike Rider and VS.net.
Expected Behavior
Should automatically update on the entire solution on build with just a single line in the tasks.json.
Should have documentation on how to setup tasks.json
Should automatically update when files are fixed in source.
