PowerShell profile runs WSL instead?

[dudeofawesome]

I've just updated (and refreshed my settings.json) and now my PowerShell 7 profile doesn't seem to work. Instead of launching pwsh it launches wsl.

Environment

Windows build number: `10.0.18363.0`
Windows Terminal version: `0.11.1121.0`
PWSH version: `7.0.0`

Steps to reproduce

Here's my settings.json.

// This file was initially generated by Windows Terminal 0.11.1121.0
// It should still be usable in newer versions, but newer versions might have additional
// settings, help text, or changes that you will not see unless you clear this file
// and let us generate a new one for you.

// To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button.
// For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/terminal-documentation

    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",

    "defaultProfile": "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",

    // You can add more global application settings here.
    // To learn more about global settings, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-global-settings

    // If enabled, selections are automatically copied to your clipboard.
    "copyOnSelect": false,

    // If enabled, formatted data is also copied to your clipboard
    "copyFormatting": false,

    // A profile specifies a command to execute paired with information about how it should look and feel.
    // Each one of them will appear in the 'New Tab' dropdown,
    //   and can be invoked from the commandline with `wt.exe -p xxx`

Expected behavior

Opening a new terminal tab to the PowerShell profile should open the PowerShell profile.

Actual behavior

Opening a new terminal tab to the PowerShell profile opens WSL (with the PowerShell icon).

Fascinating! Can you share the process tree (from task manager's Processes view, or--better yet--from Process Explorer if you have it) for Windows Terminal with only one of these weird hybrid wsl/pwsh tabs open?

[sin9yt]

I pretty much have the same issue(v0.11.1121.0), it's not honoring the default profile guid. I've set it to use the cmd.exe profile, after this update it loads the PowerShell profile irrespective of default profile setting. The problem started after this update.

[DHowett-MSFT]

@sin9yt your problem is clearly not "my powershell profile runs WSL instead" -- you want to move to #5458

I'm going to mark this comment and your comment as hidden/resolved.

[DHowett-MSFT]

Oh, you put "wsl -d Ubuntu" in your commandline. That means that ALL PROFILES will run WSL.

[DHowett-MSFT]

(The things inside "defaults" apply to every single profile.)

Ha! Yup! That would do it. Showed up in this version because I changed my settings.json to take advantage of the new global settings. Thanks.
