$env in cmakeExecutable in Preset not working since 1.19.49

[KUGA2]

Brief Issue Summary

Since the newest version, our Presets do not work any more.

Configuring gives the following error message:

[cmakeExecutable] CMake executable not found in cache. Checking again.
[proc] Executing command: /cmake.exe --version
[proc] The command: /cmake.exe --version failed with error: Error: spawn /cmake.exe ENOENT
[proc] Executing command: /cmake.exe -E capabilities
[proc] The command: /cmake.exe -E capabilities failed with error: Error: spawn /cmake.exe ENOENT
[main] Configuring project: ---

As you can see, the path is incomplete. It does not resolve out preset correctly anymore. We have this line there:

            "cmakeExecutable": "$env{CMAKE3271}/cmake.exe"

We only use this setting in Windows, i am not sure if this bug appears in other OSes.

Workaround:

• Roll back to last version
• Use penv instead of env. Reading the CMake documentation, $env should also work!

(I am not adding logs here, because I would need to manually remove confidential data. If you cannot reproduce, please contact me)

Thanks for reporting. We got the same issue today which make our cross-compiles fail. Both downgrading and upgrading to pre-release seems to fix the issue.

Please make this fix high prio since I haven't found a way to pin the version in our devcontainer.json
