VSCode empty nested quotation mark strings in configurations stopped working

Question

I use Visual Studio Code latest stable version and I had configuration like:

    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/build/debug/bin/something-wallet-rpc",
    "args": [
        "--rpc-bind-port", "19835",
        "--wallet-file", "wallet",
        "--password", "\"\"",
        "--log-level", "2"
    ],

and it has been working well, but sudddenly the line "--password", "\"\"", is getting passed incorrectly to Ubuntu terminal and I get an error with incorrect password.

But when I open terminal and use ./build/debug/bin/something-wallet-rpc --rpc-bind-port 19835 --wallet-file wallet --password "" --log-level 2, it works correctly.

What can be the problem and how to fix/workaround my configuration?
Debugging is very hard without this.

Answer 1

It was a bug in Visual Studio Code, so solution is to downgrade or update version.
