fnm is not working in Visual Studio Task Runner

[jsalwen]

I am using VS 2019 and VS 2022. FNM is working correctly in PowerShell, cmd shell and bash on my Windows OS.

But I cannot get it to work in the VS 2019 / 2022 Task Runner.

• note: This is not in VS Code, this is in Visual Studio
• note: Task Runner was added to VS to allow it to run gulpfile.js for builds.

I am trying to figure out how to get Task Runner to work with fnm. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi! Can you please share what Task Runner is? I’m not a VSCode user either ;D

It's basically a custom shortcut in vscode to speed up things like building, testing, running code, etc

e.g.:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "echo hello",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "echo",
      "args": ["Hello, World!"],
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      },
      "problemMatcher": []
    }
  ]
}

Then you can do: "Run task"> "echo hello" and it will execute the code in a new terminal inside the ide
