Vscode : compile warnings disappear from terminal window

Postby mikeselectricstuff » Fri Jun 26, 2026 6:40 pm

New to VSCode, slowly getting there but can't figure this out...
During build, you see all the compiler warnings etc. scrolling up the terminal window, but when it completes successfully, the window gets cleared, and just shows the memory usage summary.

How do I either get back to the warnings produced during compile, or stop it clearing the terminal window when it's done ?

Hello,

As this happens because it was switching from the build task to the size task terminal internally.

VSCode has inbuilt support for switching terminals.

Code: Select all

Windows / Linux: Press Ctrl + PageUp (previous) or Ctrl + PageDown (next).
macOS: Press Cmd + Shift + ] (previous) or Cmd + Shift + [ (next)
