@oblind If you comment out the "preLaunchTask" does this problem still occur?

@oblind If you comment out the "preLaunchTask" does this problem still occur?

the "preLaunchTask" is used to compile my codes before launching

I also started having this issue with Insiders for Ubuntu around the same time. It appears to have been introduced by the daily update.

/bin/bash: : No such file or directory

(and a popup about bash exit code 127)

Resetting settings, extensions, and project launch and tasks caused no improvement. Switching to Stable seems to be the only solution currently.

thank you very much

I also have the "The terminal process "bash ''" failed to launch (exit code: 127)." error.

Do you set terminal.integrated.inheritEnv to false?

Do you set terminal.integrated.inheritEnv to false?

It doesn't help. The problem continues.

[Tyriar]

To be clear, you should not be setting that.
