How to configure VS Code to execute Ruby code?

Question

Hi I am trying to configure VS Code under WSL to run Ruby code. I have already installed Ruby extension and VSCode Ruby in my VS Code. I also installed ruby from official page. But when I try to run puts ("Hello world!!") it doesn't execute and doesn't show output. Thanks for your answers and advices.

EDIT : My tasks.json file now looks like this

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "start",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "ruby ${file}",
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${fileDirname}"
            },
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ]
}

But there is still problem it won't build or even run my code

Does this answer your question? How do I execute a Ruby script using VSCode? — Artur INTECH

You could configure a task and use the current file variable. Open Tasks: Open Workspace Tasks and than configure the following one in the tasks section:

"tasks": [
    {
        "label": "start",
        "type": "shell",
        "command": "ruby ${file}",
        "options": {
            "cwd": "${fileDirname}"
        }
        "problemMatcher": []
    }
]

Most of the time I use the internal terminal to run my code. I create a bin file and execute my code.

Hi I just created new json file by configure default build task and paste there your code but I got End of file expected and Incorrect type. Expected "object" I dontt know if it is what you ment

Seems like you replaced the whole file content with my code. You should only replace the tasks section in the file. Give it another try

I put it into json file but it didn't help. Or should I put it into same file as my test code puts("Hello world!") is?
