Description

I have a python script to zip bin file and calculate md5. I run it using idf.postBuildTask function. Since v1.8.0 it is not working properly.

in setting.json I have idf.postBuildTask enabled by adding: "idf.postBuildTask":"python ota_zip_gen.py", It was working fine in v1.7.1 and v1.6.5. Here is a screen shot of when it was working:

In v1.8.0 it gives me an error message:

Does the grammar for this function changed in v1.8.0? Is there any document for how to use this function? I could not find any examples of this function.

Debug Message

here is the output of the error message: 

*  Executing task: c:\Users\Sam\Desktop\firmware\esp32_solar\build\python ota_zip_gen.py  

 *  The terminal process failed to launch: Path to shell executable "c:\Users\Sam\Desktop\firmware\esp32_solar\build\python ota_zip_gen.py" does not exist.

Other Steps to Reproduce

create a python script
add "idf.postBuildTask":"python script.py", to setting.jason
build project
you will see the error message
