vscode integration

Any idea how to intergrade espflash into vscode?

I'm working with the ESP32-C3 and can flash with command line using "cargo espflash --monitor COM8" although would be good if this could be done through vscode, and optionally launch the debugger.

You can integrate that using PlatformIO IDE. Follow this link for more information https://randomnerdtutorials.com/vs-code-platformio-ide-esp32-esp8266-arduino/

You could create a task in VS Code that uploads your code:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Build & Flash",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "cargo espflash --monitor COM8",
      "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
      },
      "group": {
        "kind": "test",
        "isDefault": true
      }
    },
  ],
}

In this example, since the task is set as the default test task, it could be executed:

• From the Command Palette (Ctrl-Shift-P or Cmd-Shift-P) run the Tasks: Run Test Task command
• With Ctrl-Shift-, or Cmd-Shift-,
• From the Command Palette (Ctrl-Shift-P or Cmd-Shift-P) run the Tasks: Run Task command and select Build & Flash.
• From UI: There is an extension, actboy168.tasks, which adds tasks into the bottom status bar so you can run your custom tasks from the UI.

Additionally, if you want to modify arguments, you can use input variables.

Regarding debugging, I haven't done any testing but there is an attribute of launch.json that is preLaunchTask which could be set to the custom task so when you launch the debug session it builds and flashs the code
