automationProfile ignores args Parameter

[koneu]

Brief Issue Summary

I tried setting up the extension with msys2.

Im using both terminal.integrated.profiles.windows and terminal.integrated.automationProfile.windows with identical values.

When compiling via terminal compilation succeeds, when configuring the extension i get a make.exe: command not found error indicating, that the --login option has been ignored and only the path is used.

---

from my settings.json:

"terminal.integrated.automationProfile.windows": {
    "path": "C:/msys64/usr/bin/bash.exe",
    "args": [
        "--login",
        "-i",
    ],
    "env": {
        "MSYSTEM": "UCRT64",
        "CHERE_INVOKING": "1",
        "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE": "inherit",
    },
},

Debug Log

dryrun.log and targets.log:

make.exe --dry-run --keep-going --print-directory
/usr/bin/bash: line 1: make.exe: command not found

Hi @koneu , thanks for reporting issue here!
Verified this on Makefile Tool v0.13.1(pre-release), unfortunately we cannot repro your issue, configure succeeded in extension, please see following screenshot.

And you can try setting the environment for make to be recognized by VS Code by adding MSYS2 to your PATH.

hi and thanks for the reply,

when using a login/ interactive shell the msys-startup files should get executed (bash_profile bshrc etc.).

In a default setup this should make adding make to the path not necessary, even if its not inthe PATH on the host machine. While adding it to the PATh on the Machine would be a workaround in this case; it would not work on more complicated Startup scripts.

Hi @gcampbell-msft , do you have any thoughts for this issue?

@koneu Thanks for the issue, we have known issues and/or improvements needed when it comes to the automationProfile settings in VS Code. I'll mark this accordingly and add it to our backlog.
