When I have a repo with multiple moon projects with the same tag, I get requests for "batch" tasks to run all the same tasks in these projects.
If running on the command-line I can run moon r #the-tag:the-task and all the-task tasks of the projects with that tag get run.
As our users are not command-line people, they rely on the vs-code extension to trigger tasks and so we end up creating "helper" tasks so that they are visible and triggerable in the VS-Code extension.
This is not very efficient. Can we have a feature in the plugin that allows use to run these "batch" triggers?
The interface already offers a view of the tags, but it just lists the projects with those tags. I image we would want a view that shows the tags and then lists the tasks belonging to those tags and the a "run" button to trigger the moon command moon r #the-tag:the-task.
I hope that makes sense.
I am currently lacking the skills to implement this. If there is no one willing, I might try it out.
But first, it would be nice to get some feedback whether this is worth doing and whether it is value is seen - or is there already a way to do this?
