Create multiple terminals and run commands in VSCode

问题

I'm on a Mac 💻. I'm trying to explore a way to create 4 Terminals as soon as I dbl-clicked on my workspace file. I've tried to get one working, but I seem stuck

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "path": "/Users/bheng/Sites/laravel/project"
        }
    ],
    "settings": {
        "workbench.action.terminal.focus": true,
        "terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "ls",
        "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.osx": [
            "ls -lrt"
         ]
    },
    "extensions": {}
}

My goal is to open 4 Terminals

• Terminal1 : run 'npm run watch'
• Terminal2 : run 'ls -lrt'
• Terminal3 : run 'ssh_staging'
• Terminal4 : run 'mysql'

I've been following this doc : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal#_terminal-keybindings

Any hints for me ?

I've been playing around with this which seems to work. Combining the ability to run a task on folder open and to make that task depend on other tasks I came up with the following. It looks cumbersome but it is actually pretty simple and repetitive.

First, you will need a macro extension like multi-command. Put this into your settings:

"multiCommand.commands": [

    {
      "command": "multiCommand.runInFirstTerminal",
      "sequence": [
        "workbench.action.terminal.new",
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.renameWithArg",
          "args": {
            "name": "npm watch"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
          "args": {
            "text": "npm run watch\u000D"  // \u000D is a return so it runs
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "command": "multiCommand.runInSecondTerminal",
      "sequence": [
        "workbench.action.terminal.new",
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.renameWithArg",
          "args": {
            "name": "ls -lrt"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
          "args": {
            "text": "ls -lrt\u000D"
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "command": "multiCommand.runInThirdTerminal",
      "sequence": [
        "workbench.action.terminal.new",
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.renameWithArg",
          "args": {
            "name": "ssh_staging"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
          "args": {
            "text": "ssh_staging\u000D"  // however you run the ssh_staging command
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "command": "multiCommand.runInFourthTerminal",
      "sequence": [
        "workbench.action.terminal.new",
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.renameWithArg",
          "args": {
            "name": "mysql"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
          "args": {
            "text": "mysql\u000D"  // however you run the mysql command
          }
        },
        // "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup"
      ]
    }
]

There is one command for each terminal. But within each of those you can do as much as you can get into a macro - which is a lot, especially thanks to the sendSequence command. You can change directories and send another sendSequence command to the same terminal instance, run all the non-terminal commands too, change focus to an editor at the end of the last terminal set-up, etc.

I added the nicety of naming each terminal based on your command using the command workbench.action.terminal.renameWithArg.

In tasks.json:

 "tasks": [

    {
      "label": "Run 4 terminals on startup",
      "runOptions": {"runOn": "folderOpen"},

      "dependsOrder": "sequence",  // or parallel

      "dependsOn": [
        "terminal1",
        "terminal2",
        "terminal3",
        "terminal4"
      ]
    },  

    {
      "label": "terminal1",
      "command": "${command:multiCommand.runInFirstTerminal}"
    },
    {
      "label": "terminal2", 
      "command": "${command:multiCommand.runInSecondTerminal}",
    },
    {
      "label": "terminal3",
      "command": "${command:multiCommand.runInThirdTerminal}"
    },
    {
      "label": "terminal4",
      "command": "${command:multiCommand.runInFourthTerminal}"
    }
 ]

Now whenever you open (or reload) the workspace folder this tasks.json is in the four terminals should be opened, named and run. In my experience, there is about a short delay before vscode runs any folderOpen task.

If you prefer to manually trigger the Run 4 terminals task, you can set up a keybinding like so:

{
  "key": "alt+r",     // whatever keybinding you want
  "command": "workbench.action.tasks.runTask",
  "args": "Run 4 terminals on startup"
},

Here is a demo running with the keybinding, easier to demonstrate than reloading vscode, but there is no difference. I added an interval delay to each terminal running just for demonstration purposes - otherwise it is extremely fast.

I noticed that vscode freezes if I don't interact with one of the terminals or open another before deleting them all.

---

There is also a Terminal Manager extension which may be of interest. I haven't tried it.

An extension for setting-up multiple terminals at once, or just running some commands.

But it isn't obvious to me whether this extension can be configured to run on folderOpen - but it appears to contribute a run all the terminals command so you should be able to use that in a task.
