I’m trying to setup an environment suggested on Striver’s VSCode setup for DSA and CP.

After completing all the steps, I’m not able to get any output and I get the below error message in the terminal:

This is my tasks.json:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Compile and run",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "",
      "args": [
        "copy",
        ""${file}"",
        "${workspaceFolder}\jspwTest.cpp",
        "&&",
        "g++",
        "jspwTest.cpp",
        "-o",
        "jspwTest",
        "&&",
        "jspwTest",
        "<",
        "input.txt",
        ">",
        "output.txt",
        "&&",
        "del",
        "jspwTest.exe",
        "&&",
        "del",
        "jspwTest.cpp"
      ],
      "presentation": {
        "reveal": "never"
      },
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true,
      },
      "problemMatcher": {
        "owner": "cpp",
        "fileLocation": [
          "relative",
          "${workspaceRoot}"
        ],
        "pattern": {
          "regexp": "^(.*):(\d+):(\d+):\s+(warning|error):\s+(.*)$",
          "file": 1,
          "line": 2,
          "column": 3,
          "severity": 4,
          "message": 5
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

This is the path of my compiler – "C:msys64ucrt64bing++.exe".

I tried replacing the tasks.json thinking I might have copy/pasted something wrong, but this didn’t work. The task.json is the same as the one given in the “Take U Forward” link.
