Execute command by creating terminal vscode extension api-CodePudding

I want to execute command automatically after creating terminal. I have created terminal with the following code but I dont know how can I execute command automatically.

const terminal = vscode.window.createTerminal("Open Terminal");
terminal.show();

CodePudding user response：

There is a sendText() method on a Terminal instance. The "text" is for your shell command:

sendText(text: string, addNewLine?: boolean): void

const terminal = vscode.window.createTerminal("Open Terminal");
terminal.show();
terminal.sendText('cd ..', true);   // your command as a string here

See vscode api: Terminal.
