@meganrogge @Tyriar maybe shell integration related?

[meganrogge]

maybe yeah, does disabling terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled fix it? @AshfaqueAlam

For me with version 1.89.1 shell integration changes $HOME from /c/Users/<username> to C:\Users\<username>. I don't know if the shell default working directory is related to this, but after 1.89 update with shell integration enabled, default working dir is C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code instead of project directory. Without shell integration it defaults to project directory.

I'm seeing similar behavior on 1.89.1:

1. shellIntegration on
   • $HOME = C:\Users
   • Default working directory = C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code
     • Edit: This is a display issue because when I ls, I see my project files.
2. shellIntegration off
   • $HOME = /c/Users/<user>
   • Default working directory = project directory

I have a similar problem, not exactly the same, but I found that it happens when shellIntegration-bash.sh is trying to pass a username that begins with a character 't', or 'n'. In my case my username is 'takka', so when it tries to pass the HOME=C\x3a\Users\takka the \t gets converted to a tab instead and the final result became C:\Users akka. Which in my case resulting in unable to find a gitconfig path and so on.

My quick fix is to add a check and string replacement after this line https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/f209ce35ef894bd32c12057724e8d1f1139c433f/src/vs/workbench/contrib/terminal/browser/media/shellIntegration-bash.sh#L53

to

VALUE="$(echo -e "$ITEM" | cut -d "=" -f 2-)"
# Fix bug combination with escape character
if [[ "$VARNAME" == "HOME" ]]; then
    VALUE="$(echo -e "$ITEM" | cut -d "=" -f 2- | sed "s/\t/\/t/g")"
fi

If this is unrelated and should be a new issue or is duplicated then let me know.

I'm seeing similar behavior on 1.89.1:

1. `shellIntegration` on

   * `$HOME` = `C:\Users`
   * Default working directory = `C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code`

     * Edit: This is a display issue because when I `ls`, I see my project files.

2. `shellIntegration` off

   * `$HOME` = `/c/Users/<user>`
   * Default working directory = project directory

One more point: When shellIntegration is on (default)

1. Set terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows to Git Bash Every time you create a new Git Bash terminal Default working directory = C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code
2. When terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows is not Git Bash Every time you create a new Git Bash terminal Default working directory = project directory

I'm seeing this as well. What's more is that in scenario 1, it's not actually activating my venv even though it appears to be activated ((.venv) shows up above the prompt), for example:

(.venv)
xxxx@xxxxx MINGW64 /c/Users/myUser/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code (main)
$ deactivate

I recently updated to the latest version 1.93.1 a few days ago, and randomly hit this issue today. Removing git bash as my default terminal and closing/opening vs code fixed it. Note I had to close/re-open, doing a reload didn't work.
