This change addresses item #4294
This changes visible behavior
The following changes are proposed:
cleanConfigureAndBuildmethod toCMakeProjectthat chainscleanConfigure()+build(), short-circuiting on configure failure (mirrorscleanRebuild()pattern)cleanConfigureAndBuild/cleanConfigureAndBuildAllcommands toExtensionManagerwith telemetry and build preset validationpackage.json(command palette, outline view title, CMakeLists.txt context menus, explorer context)The purpose of this change
Users who need to delete cache and reconfigure due to a broken build folder currently must wait for reconfiguration to complete, then manually trigger a build. This adds a single command that chains both operations so the user can walk away and return when everything is done.
Other Notes/Information
