Changing the aux folder for makeglossaries

auxiliary-filesvisual-studio-code

I am using Visual Studio Code with Latex Workshop and I am changing the directory for the auxiliary and output files to a directory called .aux (I want it to stay hidden if possible).

My reciepe looks like this:

"latex-workshop.latex.recipes": [
        {
            "name": "build",
            "tools": [
                "pdflatex",
                "biber",
                "pdflatex",
                "makeglossaries",
                "pdflatex",
                "pdflatex"
            ]
        }
    ],

I managed to add the output folder to pdflatex and biber parts but makeglossaries gives this error:

Unable to chdir to ' .aux' No such file or directory
makeglossaries version 4.45 (2020-01-18)

I tried this:

        {
            "name": "makeglossaries",
            "command": "makeglossaries",
            "args": [
                "-d .aux",
                "%DOCFILE%"
            ]
        },

How do I fix this?

Found the solution

    {
        "name": "makeglossaries",
        "command": "makeglossaries",
        "args": [
            "-d.aux",
            "%DOCFILE%"
        ]
    },

No space between flag and new directory.
