VS Code Code Runner C++ with wrong command in terminal - c++

Question

I'm using Code Runner extension in VS Code to run C++ code and it's using the wrong terminal command to do so. I'm using git-bash in VS Code and Windows 10.
This is the command in terminal:
Douglas#LAPTOP-6BSNLLDB MINGW64 /c/path (master)
$ cd "c:\path\" && g++ HelloWorld.cpp -o HelloWorld && "c:\path\"HelloWorld
bash: cd: c:\path" && g++ HelloWorld.cpp -o HelloWorld && c:path"HelloWorld: No such file or directory
As you can see, it's using cd and g++ correctly, but the command to actually run the .exe file is wrong.
Shouldn't it be "c:\path\HellowWorld.exe"?
How can I change this? It works correctly with python.
If I can't, how do I run C++ code within VS Code?

Answer 1

Seems like you are using git-bash instead of PowerShell.
you only need to use
"code-runner.terminalRoot": "/",
VSCode: Code Runner extension is unable to execute the code on git bash terminal?
Change setting to
"code-runner.executorMap":{
"cpp": "cd $dirWithoutTrailingSlash && g++ $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && ./$fileNameWithoutExt",
}
also c's: ( I use tcc)
"code-runner.executorMap":{
"c": "cd $dirWithoutTrailingSlash && tcc -run $fileNameWithoutExt.c",
}

Answer 2

$ cd /d "c:\path\" && g++ HelloWorld.cpp -o HelloWorld && HelloWorld
Or..
$ cd /d "c:\path\" && g++ HelloWorld.cpp -o HelloWorld.exe && HelloWorld

What wuyudi said before isn't false, but I think instead of
"code-runner.termnalRoot":"/",
you should use
"code-runner.terminalRoot":"/mnt/"
it's working fine for me so I hope it will work for the others too.
