This is error i am getting.

Also i have set the fish shell as default shell in WSL.

Solution

  • For WSL1 on windows 10 build later than 1909 (yes wsl2 is available to me but for corporate reasons i cant use it)

    Try setting your command to wsl.exe -new_console:d:C:\_stuff\code -cur_console:p5 and the task parameters to /dir "c:/_stuff/code" /icon "c:/_distros/ubuntu/ubuntu1804.exe"

    You may need to change the file locations to make the command and parameters suitable for your setup. c:/_stuff/code is where i keep all my repositories and c:/_distros/ubuntu is where i have installed ubuntu.
