Run bat file with npx command in visual code - batch-file

Question

I am getting this error in visual studio code:
The above error shows whenever I launch my progam due to this launch.json script:
{

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python: Attach using Process Id",
"type": "python",
"request": "attach",
"processId": "${command:pickProcess}",
"justMyCode": true,
"preLaunchTask": "kill_process"
},
{
"name": "Python: Current File",
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${file}",
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"justMyCode": true,
"preLaunchTask": "kill_process"
}
]
}
And here is my tasks.json:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "typescript",
"tsconfig": "tsconfig.json",
"problemMatcher": [
"$tsc"
],
"group": "build",
"label": "tsc: build - tsconfig.json"
},
{
"label": "kill_process",
"type": "shell",
"command": ".\\script\\kill_process.bat"
}
]
}
This is the content of kill_process.bat file:
npx kill-port 8000
However, when I run the script from powershell it executes without any problem, here is the proof:
Does someone perhaps know how I can run the kill_process.bat file without any error in visual studio code?

Answer 1

Strangely it is now fixed but I don't know how because now I am reading this in my console in visual studio code:
* Executing task: .\script\kill_process.bat
D:\documents\leerplek\python\Wpark>npx kill-port 8000
Process on port 8000 killed
* Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.
