Correct. I have to find some time this weekend to do the upgrade for the extension. I'll see if I can get it done in the next two days and ping you back here.

I did the work on this, and I'm almost ready to update the extension. I'm just waiting on a answer from them on another issue: microsoft/vscode#17566

If I don't hear back from them within 24 hours, I'll go ahead and get the extension up there and deal with that other issue in a future update.

I was just informed that the underlying problem with the tasks.json schema not picking up my new property is a rather difficult nut for them to crack. They opened a new issue to request the feature, but new features like this may take quite a long time or never become implemented. The new issue is at: microsoft/vscode#20193

I'm going to try to get this extension updated today (2/8), which will fix the bug on this issue.

Just released v0.2.0 that fixes this issue.

You can add and use a command property on individual tasks. If you do so, the global command and args are not applied.

If you leave your command and arguments in the args property and don't specify a task command, then the global command and args will be used.

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "cmd",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "showOutput": "silent",
    "args": [
        "/c"
    ],
    "test": "blah blah blah",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "restore that draws in the global command and args",
            "suppressTaskName": true,
            "args" : ["dotnet", "restore"],
            "showOutput": "always",
            "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
        },
        {
            "taskName": "restore that doesn't draw in the global command and args",
            "suppressTaskName": true,
            "command": "dotnet",
            "args" : ["restore"],
            "showOutput": "always",
            "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
        },

The first restore command will run ...

cmd /c dotnet restore

The second restore command will run ...

dotnet restore
