Describe the feature

Registrazione.schermo.2024-05-26.alle.10.37.52.mov

Hi! @RemcoSmitsDev : Since you've already worked on something similar, you might want to take a look.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

No response

Can you explain more what you are missing inside Zed now and what problem the feature you are pointing out solves? If I look at the video, it seems that it's similar to this, but more in a file structure way.

[Angelk90]

@RemcoSmitsDev : To do what you say to execute a command I have to open search for the package.json file, open it, click to execute the command.

Instead, if it is automatically detected that there is a package.json file, give the possibility as vscode does to make a view appear, with possible commands that can be executed quickly.

instead of a terminal UI for it could have the tasks panel search over all package.json, Cargo.toml, etc to find all valid "scripts" ignoring dirs that are in the .gitignore

[Angelk90]

@versecafe : Is there a panel tasks?

[versecafe]

It also picks up default tasks for rust projects such as cargo run cargo test etc

[RemcoSmitsDev]

Yeah, like @versecafe is pointing out. Zed already has a modal where you can see all the tasks that you can run inside the current context. If you would like to run tasks that are not connected to a context (file, line, column, symbol etc.) then you need to make them yourself. That you could see all the tasks, instead only the ones that you can run in the current context.

So to come back to your feature request, I think the task: spawn modal already shows all the tasks you want to see in a quick way.

@RemcoSmitsDev : I don't see anything at the moment.

@Angelk90 Running scripts inside package.json and composer.json was just merged a couple of hours ago. This will probably be out Wednesday in the preview release.

And keep in mind that the package.json and composer.json tasks/runnable are only shown if you are in the right context. We could maybe show the tasks that do not depend on current SYMBOL, selected text, row, column always when you are in the current file Instead, only if you are in the runnable ranges, so it's more close to your initial screenshot.

Tasks like these are not connected to a specific part of your code, that is why you always see them if you are in a Rust file.

It would also be cool to have automatic script loading with the ability to pins

Since this issue was opened, Zed has added support for detect npm scripts. Just open package.json in question:

And you will have a series of Play Buttons next to them.

Zed currently does not have a dedicated tasks panel and instead has opted to include task runnables in the context where they can be used, either via the Task Modal or in the sidebar.

This is design decision, partly to avoid the clutter common in a VSCode unified tasks panel:

Thanks for reporting.
