Run custom command in editor.codeActionsOnSave

[felipecrs]

So, I could do something like:

"[shellscript]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "foxundermoon.shell-format",
    "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
      "command": "argbash -i ${relativeFile}"
    }
  },

PS: I'm talking about a shell command, not a VSCode command.

I can think of 3 approaches:

1. Support calling VSCode commands (so we can call a task)
2. Support calling tasks (so we can set a task which run that command)
3. Support calling commands

I think the first is the best one since it would extend to many possibilities.

This like a good candidate for an extension that converts tasks/commands into source actions.

If that proves popular, we could look into integrating it into VS Code

I was able to successfully create an extension to transform tasks into source code actions, and therefore be able to use them in codeActionsOnSave.

However, there is a challenge:

The command which the task runs changes the document contents, therefore it triggers a VS Code error:

Is there a way to work around this?

Looks like your task writes to disk before the file is written by VS Code. Try delaying your task until the save has completed

But in fact, I need the formatter (formatOnSave) to actually run after the task. =/

Just like how the formatOnSave was intended to run after all the codeActionsOnSave.
