Hi,

Currently, you would need to write a new task for every build configuration.

However, the cmd file that executes the west command in this way is written manually by me.

In this way, I wrote the cmd file for executing west commands manually, and I would prefer to replace it with nrf connect for vscode, which uses the "Build: usb_hid_transparent/build (active)" task according to my configuration to save the output log to a file.

The difference between what I've realized so far, and what I want is here

Hi,

Could you elaborate and show the difference of what you managed to achieve and what you prefer?

Best regards,

I tried the following scenario

Modify the Action Build pointers in nRF Connect for VScode.
Add the task in "tasks.json" as follows

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
          {
              "label": "build test",
              "command": "${workspaceFolder}/test.cmd",
          }
      ]
  }

Change the "taskName" of "build" to the name of our task, as follows:

{
    "nrf-connect.taskBindings": {
        "build": [
            {
                "taskName": "build test",
            },
        ]
    }
}

Here is the contents of my test.cmd:

SET PATH=C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\mingw64\bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\bin\Scripts;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\nanopb\generator-bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\zephyr-sdk\aarch64-zephyr-elf\bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\zephyr-sdk\x86_64-zephyr-elf\bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\zephyr-sdk\arm-zephyr-eabi\bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\zephyr-sdk\riscv64-zephyr-elf\bin;%PATH%
SET PYTHONPATH=C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\bin;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\bin\Lib;C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\bin\Lib\site-packages
SET ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=zephyr
SET ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=C:/ncs/toolchains/cf2149caf2\opt\zephyr-sdk
SET ZEPHYR_BASE=C:/ncs/v2.6.0\zephyr
west build --build-dir D:/nordic/ncs_tutorial/code/Peripherals/15_usb/usb_hid_transparent/build D:/nordic/ncs_tutorial/code/Peripherals/15_usb/usb_hid_transparent --pristine --board nrf52840dk_nrf52840 --no-sysbuild -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=NONE -DCACHED_CONF_FILE=D:/nordic/ncs_tutorial/code/Peripherals/15_usb/usb_hid_transparent/prj.conf > build.log 2>&1

In this way, I can realize that all the contents of west's logs are output to the build.log file

However, the cmd file that executes the west command in this way is written manually by me.

Thank you for your patience in replying, I've read it and learnt how to customise the build's task and multiple tasks; however, I still haven't found how to implement the output of the build process log to a file, I hope you can provide further support;

Hi,

You could start by looking at VS Code Tasks and Binding Custom Tasks to Actions.
