    "ruby": "C:\\Ruby23-x64\\bin\\ruby.exe",

    chrome.exe\"",
    "java": "cd $dir && javac $fileName && java $fileNameWithoutExt",
    "c": "cd $dir && gcc $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt &&
    $dir$fileNameWithoutExt"
    }
    }

    Supported customized parameters

    $workspaceRoot: The path of the folder opened in VS Code


    $dir: The directory of the code file being run
    $dirWithoutTrailingSlash: The directory of the code file being run without a

    "*.test.js": "tap",
    "*.js": "node"
