VSCode build task command not found

Question

I'm working in vscode, and I want to build the chromium in tasks.json, but the build shell report error command not found. I use echo $PATH to see the environments variables in tasks.json. It seems like the build shell in vscode doesn't execute source ~/.bashrc, so it can't find environment variable, but the terminal in vscode is in working order. Could someone help me?

I had the same issue and fixed it with the solution below

Solution For OSX with ZSH

Add a new file under /usr/local/bin/zsh-with-rc

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

source ~/.zshrc

/bin/zsh $@

Then run

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/zsh-with-rc

In settings.json add:

"terminal.integrated.automationProfile.osx": {
        "path": "/usr/local/bin/zsh-with-rc",
}

Solution For Linux With Bash

Add a new file under /usr/local/bin/bash-with-profile

#!/usr/bin/env bash

source ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bashrc

/bin/bash $@

Then run

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bash-with-profile

In settings.json add:

"terminal.integrated.automationProfile.linux": {
        "path": "/usr/local/bin/bash-with-profile",
}
