Changes

Developer workspace setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repository metadata and font documentation
.gitignore, public/fonts/README.md
The ignore rules now cover branch data, temporary push scripts, and .gitignore. The font README lists required font files and fallback behavior.
VS Code workspace configuration
.vscode/extensions.json, .vscode/settings.json, .vscode/spellright.dict, .vscode/tasks.json
The workspace recommends extensions, configures editor and TypeScript behavior, adds dictionary entries, and defines an automatic lint task.
VS Code debugging configurations
.vscode/launch.json

Do not force one AWS profile for every developer.

All three configurations set AWS_PROFILE to flo-ct-flo360, overriding the developer's selected profile for SST, unit tests, and E2E tests. Remove these overrides or make them user-configurable. If flo-ct-flo360 is unavailable, AWS-dependent debugger operations may fail.

official Visual Studio Code documentation tasks.json runOptions runOn folderOpen workspace settings schema

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In Visual Studio Code, you can configure a task to run automatically when a workspace or folder is opened by using the runOptions property in your tasks.json file [1][2][3]. Configuration To enable this behavior, add the runOptions property to your specific task definition within tasks.json and set the runOn property to "folderOpen" [1][4][5]. { "version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ { "label": "My Auto Task", "type": "shell", "command": "echo &#39;Hello World&#39;", "runOptions": { "runOn": "folderOpen" } } ] } Security and Enabling Automatic Tasks For security reasons, VS Code does not automatically run these tasks unless you explicitly permit them [1][2]. Automatic tasks will never run in an untrusted workspace [1][2]. You can control whether automatic tasks are permitted using the task.allowAutomaticTasks setting [1][2]. This can be configured in your User or Workspace settings: { "task.allowAutomaticTasks": "on" } The available values for this setting are: - off (default): Disables automatic task execution. You will be prompted to allow or disallow them when opening a workspace [1][2]. - on: Automatically runs tasks configured with "runOn": "folderOpen" in trusted workspaces without prompting [1][2]. You can also manage these permissions manually through the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) by searching for "Manage Automatic Tasks" [1][2][3]. JSON Schema Details According to the official VS Code task schema, the runOptions object includes the following properties [4][6]: - runOn: A string that determines when the task runs. Valid values include "default" (run only via the Run Task command) and "folderOpen" [4][6]. - reevaluateOnRerun: A boolean that controls whether variables are reevaluated when executing the "Rerun Last Task" command (default is true) [1][4][6]. Additional configuration properties like instanceLimit (the number of simultaneous instances, default 1) and instancePolicy (the strategy when the limit is reached, such as "terminateNewest" or "prompt") are also available under runOptions [6][7].

It’s likely that spins up the compiler and server and such needed to see and work on the site. Myself, I’ve got lots of projects like that. I think it’s tremendously useful to automate this, and fortunately VS Code makes it easy. Say our whole goal is literally to run `npm run dev` when a particular projects root folder is opened. To do this: create a file called `tasks.json` in the root project folder’s `.vscode` folder, then add this: ``` { "version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ { "type": "npm", "script": "dev", "runOptions": { "runOn": "folderOpen" } } ] }Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json) ``` It should look something like this within your project: (It’s the same folder that holds the `settings.json` file you can use for per-project settings. I use that for stuff like what files/folders to ignore in the sidebar and search.) Now next time you open that project folder, it’ll run that script: You may get a permissions popup to approve if it’s your first time. You can also manually approve or disapprove this functionality. From the Command Palette search for “Manage Automatic Tasks” and you’ll get this. You can also search for “task” in the Command Palette and the tasks that you’ve defined will appear as commands you can run on-demand. This is all well-documented in the VS Code documentation. Note that the full command “npm run dev” doesn’t appear in that `tasks.json` file. That’s because npm is a special “auto detected” task type in VS Code, which is also true for Gulp, Grunt, and Jake. You aren’t limited to those though, you can any shell or process command. Also note that `tasks` is an array, so you can set up and run multiple commands. Me, I just like keeping it simple and running a single command. But if this appeals to you, check out those docs as there is lots of configurable power here. My experience beyond this in local development that needs to run a lot of commands to get going is centered around tmux, so check that out if you find yourself in a situation where you are needing run, say, more than 4 commands to kick off a dev enviornment. ### Master the Full Stack Contact: support@master.dev <title>Appendix</title> https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/reference/tasks-appendix ## Schema for tasks.json ...

This is a good suggestion (ability to run a task on startup), can you please file an issue in the microsoft/vscode repo on GitHub? (Sorry, I can&`#39`;t post more than 2 links yet)? In the meantime, here are a couple of options: - You can specify a particular task as a Build task and then press `CMD+SHIFT+B` when you open the folder to start the task. See here: [https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#\_mapping-gulp-grunt-and-jake-output-to-problem-matchers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#_mapping-gulp-grunt-and-jake-output-to-problem-matchers) - You could write an extension that is activated on startup and then runs gulp with the task name. See here for extension activation options: [https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/activation-events#\_activationevents](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extension…[truncated]

Define the automatic lint task in .vscode/tasks.json.

The folderOpen task runs Node on fa-solid-500.woff2; it never runs npm run lint. The tasks object in .vscode/settings.json is not a VS Code task definition. Move it into the tasks array. Also change task.allowAutomaticTasks to the documented value "on".

In @.vscode/tasks.json around lines 14 - 30, Update the automatic lint
configuration: in .vscode/tasks.json, make the folderOpen task execute the
project lint command instead of passing fa-solid-500.woff2 to Node, and ensure
it is defined within the tasks array. In .vscode/settings.json, remove the
misplaced tasks object and set task.allowAutomaticTasks to the documented "on"
value.
