VS Code - can no longer see command line when compiling my app

The "terminal" window was showing the command line and warnings when I compiled.

I looked online to find a way to clear the contents of that window so I could be sure that what I was seeing was the latest.

I used CTRL I (capital i) to clear the window.

Now I cannot see the command line or warnings when I compile and I don't see a way to get that function back.

Can anyone help ?

  • And by magic I can now see the command line..... once.

  • In VS code there are 4 tabs and they show different things.  "Problems" show you warnings and errors,

    "Debug Console" shows you things like breakpoints and println() output (with a number of repeats for println()) and "Terminal" for the compiles (including warmings and errors) "Output" will show what's going on when you do an export.

  • What I'm finding is that the "Termial" shows the latest compiler command line when you compile.... only when you've changed which watch you're compiling for. It does not seem to show the most recent command line when you only change compiler options.

    I'm trying to determie which compiler optimization to use and see the results of using each option.

    In that process I'm also finding that there are 3 places where VS Code lets you put compiler command line options and you can end up with 2 conflicting entries for the -O option.

    Do you know how to get around the fact that there's a Monkey C Optimization Level option in the extension settings, and another in the Workspace settings ?? 

    I didn't create a workspace when I started moving my project to VS Code, I just opened the folder with my project in it.

  • With vs code you set typecheck and optimization level in the extension, not as a compile option

    I keep them as "default" and then set what I want in a per project basis in the monkey.jungle.
