Some people suggest that a workaround is to change the task type to "shell" instead of "process".

The error message has changed since these posts were made in 2019, however, the issue should be the same. Hopefully the temporary fix works for you while we wait for the PR to be merged.

Here are two other options:

• Changing the "command" field in tasks.json from "dotnet" to the full path (e.g. "/usr/bin/dotnet")

Or

• Starting vscode via a terminal in your project directory using "code ." (as long as you run this in a directory which doesn't contain a dotnet sub-directory)
