VSCode Monkey C Build syntax

Hi,

In advance, forgive me, if this is an obvious question, I was trying to search for it, but couldn't find any real answer, so allow me to ask your help:

- When you build a watch face project in VSCode, it is automatically create the cmd syntax in terminal and execute it, e.g. like this:

How can I edit this syntax as I would prefer to have ? (e.g. because I would like to change the name or the build location of the PRG)

Big thanks in advance for any advice!

If you mean the "garmin.prg", the "Garmin" is the name of the folder where you have your code/resources/etc. Just rename the folder to MyWf or whatever.

Thank you for your reply, but the point of my question was: how can I modify the terminal cmd syntax invoked by VSCode Monkey C Build command ? (changing the prg the name was just an example)

It uses the folder name of the project. See launch.json for your app:

        {
            "type": "monkeyc",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Run App",
            "prg": "${workspaceFolder}${pathSeparator}bin${pathSeparator}${workspaceFolderBasename}.prg",
            "prgDebugXml": "${workspaceFolder}${pathSeparator}bin${pathSeparator}${workspaceFolderBasename}.prg.debug.xml",
            "stopAtLaunch": false,
            "device": "${command:GetTargetDevice}"
        }

The name of the prg is the name of the project's folder.

Eclipse works the same way - the project name is the .prg's name.

If you are concerned about the AppName that shows for your app, that's in resources and a string with the AppName id.

<strings>
    <string id="AppName">Sys5</string>
</strings>

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, it was still not what I was looking for, but since I am unable to explain it better than I did above, I first try to gather some extra information to better describe my target, before I keep asking further. Appreciate your time, and have a great day!
