NOTE MS provided new way of using WSL with vscode. This project is archived.

wsl-path

Provides commands to have unix-like paths (with slashes instead of backslashes) in vscode scripts (like tasks.json).

Commands to provide paths (e.g.: tasks.json)

${command:wsl-path.getRelativePath} return unix-like path to currently open file relative to workspace (like: src/filename.cc).

Example tasks.json file:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Compile current file",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "gcc ${command:wsl-path.getRelativePath}"
        }
    ]
}
