Description
When I build project with Makefile Tools extension annoying error appears in Output window:
Error: the task 'makefile: Makefile Tools Build Task' neither specifies a command nor a dependsOn property.
The task will be ignored. Its definition is:
{
"type": "shell",
"id": "shell,make,all,",
"label": "makefile: Makefile Tools Build Task"
}
