VSCode terminal process command failed to launch

I am trying out the Hello World sample extension. But when I run the extension from the 'Run Extension' task. It gives the following error:

The terminal process command '/bin/zsh -c 'npm run watch'' failed to launch (exit code: 127)

But I am able to run the above command from terminal without any errors.

If macOS and your computer recently restarted on its own (e.g., kernel panic), I found that VScode reloads improperly without loading the environment in all Terminals that were open prior.

The fix is simply to close out of VSCode completely, then relaunch. The environments will then load properly.
