pre-commit-tasks is a Visual Studio Code Extension that provides a Task Provider for pre-commit hooks without having to commit. It parses the .pre-commit-config.yaml and registers a Test Task for each hook parsed.
Tasks can be run by clicking Terminal > Run Task... in the program menu. All tasks will be found in the pre-commit task provider. A user can either select a specific task or select Run All and all pre-commit hooks will be invoked.
Any time a user changes the .pre-commit-config.yaml, the task provider will dump its parsed cache and force a reparse the next time the user tries to select a task to run.
When the pre-commit task fails, it uses a Problem Matcher defined in the package.json to determine if it can parse the pre-commit error and add it to the PROBLEMS panel and highlight it in the IDE. This makes it easier to spot where pre-commit linting errors are located.
pre-commit-tasks has a runtime dependency on the yaml NPM package for parsing of the .pre-commit-config.yaml file, but that will be handled for you on installation of the extension.
This extension contributes the following settings:
