VSCode tasks. Run services and upload addons

[mustafa_jafar]

Hey guys,
This guide inspired me to use vscode tasks more.

you can find my vscode setup here

AYON Development Workbench

Backstory Hello everyone, Once upon a time, when all addons lived within ayon-core , life was straightforward. A handful of commands were all it took to update the code or upload an addon. However, times changed when our add-ons went their separate ways and settled into their own repositories. Suddenly, things got a bit more complicated. e.g. I can be working on ayon-houdini without having the latest ayon-core, or maybe I was testing a new library and want to updated my depend…

My old setup

I’m using the following task to create and upload addon zips to my server.
upload feature is not built into default create_package.py therefore I had to implement upload_addon.py

anyways, these tasks simply

• run create_package.py
• run upload_addon.py

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Create addon",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "${cwd}/create_package.py",
            ],
            "problemMatcher": []
        },
        {
            "label": "Upload addon",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "E:/Ynput/ayon-helper-scripts/upload_addon.py",  // find upload_addon.py in https://gist.github.com/MustafaJafar/be7989dbee17b1bfb574612f978c77d1
                "--addon-dir",
                "${cwd}/package",
                "--addon-version",
                "${input:addon_version}"
            ],
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ],
    "inputs": [

        {
            "id": "addon_version",
            "description": "",
            "default": "ayon_third_party-1.1.2-dev.1",
            "type": "promptString"
        }
    ]
}

and, I’m using it on daily basis in every addon clone on my disk.
I’ve also tweaked it a little to use it in ayon core
