Configuring VS Code

If you're new to VS Code, like a tester, I highly recommend that you change the following settings. This will be under the "User" section not "Workspace" or "Folder." Click here to find the settings UI.

• Set task.allowAutomaticTasks to "off" to turn off arbitrary code execution.
• Uncheck security.workspace.trust.enabled to disable all of the annoyances with the trust feature, such as popups and disabled extensions.

Remember to never open a .code-workspace file that you didn't create, because it can enable the task.allowAutomaticTasks setting and execute arbitrary code. You can freely open any normal folders and files in the editor because folder settings can't enable task.allowAutomaticTasks.

For more information, read about the trust feature here.
