Visual Studio Code – Provide dynamic arguments to `terminal.integrated.profiles.*`

I want to pass a hash value of ${cwd} to invoke tmux new -A -s in an integrated terminal profile.

I tried various forms of "$(…)", like so:

    "terminal.integrated.profiles.osx": {
        "tmux": {
            "path": "/usr/local/bin/tmux",
            "args": [
                "new",
                "-A",
                "-s",
                "$(md5sum <<<${cwd} | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"
            ]
        },
    },

When this profile is invoked, a tmux session does start, but its name is the literal $(md5sum <<</Users/USER/PATH/TO/CWD | cut -d ' ' -f 1), which is hard to work with.

    Using @starball's suggestion, I wrote a simple wrapper:

    #! /bin/zsh
exec tmux new -A -s $(md5sum <<<$1 | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

    and its invocation via settings.json:

        "terminal.integrated.profiles.osx": {
        "tmux": {
            "path": "${userHome}/local/bin/tmux-vscode",
            "args": [
                "${cwd}"
            ]
        },
    },

    Now I have:

    $ tmux ls

    I’d suggest to try writing a wrapper script for that command and use that wrapper script in the path property. You’ll probably need to give your wrapper script a shebang for the shell it needs. Also, in case you need it, here‘s the VS Code variable reference.
