Description

Description

For test and documentation purposes, the test-resources folder tasks should be updated to include additional or updated examples which make use of new functionality present in the task system including problemMatchers and inputs variables.

This will allow for quicker and easier testing of future pull requests which affect the task extension (no longer need to re-create new tests), and also help during regression testing.

Additional Information

  • file: tasks.json
  • problemMatchers: #5877
  • input variables: #6331

Research direction
The test resources tasks.json file is at packages/task/test resources/.theia/tasks.json. The task system needs examples using problemMatchers (tracked in issue #5877) and input variables (issue #6331). Update the tasks.json to include these new features. No existing PR or comments.
