Change the path from dmd to rdmd on linux

What exactly do you mean ? Dmd is not used by the extension directly, only the dub command is used.

[TritiatedWater]

So you're saying that dub is responsible to call dmd?

Is there any way to make dub execute rdmd instead of plain dmd?

Dlang also has an intrepeter (rdmd) so l can edit-run faster.

If you use the tasks created with the Create default tasks command, you can modify the build subtask and add "args": ["--rdmd"], right under "taskname": "build", to make dub use rdmd.

It seems that VSCode is ignoring the tasks.json.

The dub args in tasks.json:
"taskName": "build",
"args": ["--rdmd"],
"isBuildCommand": true,

The output:
[Running] cd "/home/abc/Documents/Projects/usless/src/" && dmd main.d && "/home/abc/Documents/Projects/usless/src/"main
fadsf
[Done] exited with code=0 in 0.596 seconds
Or is there something I did wrong?

[LaurentTreguier]

It looks like you might be using an extension that runs the current file as a script... That doesn't look like an output from dub. If this is the case, you might as well open an issue for this extension, using rdmd would make a lot more sense to quickly run scripts.

[TritiatedWater]

It turns out I was using Code Runner. Just realised after you mentioned extension.
Anyway, configuring Code Runner to run rdmd also works.

Sorry for wasting your time :)

No problem 👍
