Set Default build task by default

[jacoues]

In order to minimize the number of things to edit when I switch default build tasks. I found that putting "args": [${defaultBuildTask}] runs the default build task as defined in tasks.json. This means I only have to edit tasks.json in order to switch default build task.
Perhaps you could add that to your documentation?

Interesting, I didn't know about that!

"args": [${defaultBuildTask}] isn't valid syntax, so I assume you meant:

"args": ["${defaultBuildTask}"]

However, that doesn't seem to work:

You're right.. for some reason though, despite the invalid syntax it still runs the default task. Perhaps if the task is unspecified or invalid it runs the default build task?

That's strange, that's not the case for me. It doesn't make sense when you look at the code either:

vscode-terminator/src/Main.hx

Lines 28 to 36 in ec59075

	if (task == null) {
	window.showErrorMessage('Could not find a task whose name matches \'$taskName\'.');
	} else {
	var runningTask = runningTasks.find(execution -> taskNameRegex.match(execution.task.name));
	if (runningTask != null) {
	runningTask.terminate();
	}
	tasks.executeTask(task);
	}

The error is shown in the if, executeTask() is called in the else.
