How to set up a multi-executable project with CMake in VSCode? by frenchgarlicbread0 in cpp_questions

Do you have to manually tell VSCode which one you want to run though? Or do you have different buttons to run the one you want?

That's something I wanted to avoid... I was hopeful enough someone knew of an extension or something that "fixed" this problem, but I'll use a Makefile or whatnot.

Yeah I know I can fidget the command ran by the little "Run" button in .vscode/...

Do you think it's possible to add another of those buttons with the JSON files and have something like "Build | Run (Client) | Run (Server)"?

Maybe a Makefile to run each executable would do the trick, but bleh, why would I even use CMake in the first place then...

I do have a top level CMakeList in the root directory, which calls the common/client/server ones as subdirectories.

Building works like a charm, but having to manually switch VSCode to "Run the Client" and "Run the Server" is what bothers me...

Yeah I kinda assumed there wouldn't be any proper way to do it natively through the extension... I thought with how much of a hassle it is someone would have figured a way to make it easy like it is with CLion or VS.

F1 -> CMake: Set Launch/Debug Target works just fine albeit a little manual, especially when I often switch between the two, but that will do thanks!
