Workspace launch configuration's preLaunchTask can't use workspace build tasks

[4310V343k]

Issue Type: Bug

I have this workspace file set up

``` "launch": { "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "byond", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch DreamSeeker", "preLaunchTask": "dm: build - ${command:CurrentDME}", "dmb": "${workspaceFolder}/${command:CurrentDMB}" }, { "type": "byond", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch DreamDaemon", "preLaunchTask": "dm: build - ${command:CurrentDME}", "dmb": "${workspaceFolder}/${command:CurrentDMB}", "dreamDaemon": true } ] }, "tasks": { "version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ { "type": "dreammaker", "dme": "taucetistation.dme", "problemMatcher": [ "$dreammaker" ], "group": "build", "label": "dm: build - taucetistation.dme" } ] } ```

But after i try to use any of launch configurations, this shows up:

Those tasks and configurations are auto-generated and work fine when created inside of .vscode folder.

If i just copy the task's label inside preLaunchTask it'll still not work, so the problem is not that

Found something. Adding a task in .vscode folder didn't help, HOWEVER launch configurations inside that folder CAN use tasks created in workspace file
