In a tasks.json how can I specify the path for a shell command? I tried:
{
"label": "launch site local (ngserve)",
"type": "shell",
"group": "build",
"command": "C:/Users/me/npm start",
"problemMatcher": ["$tsc"]
}
which exited with the error:
/usr/bin/bash: C:/Users/me/npm: No such file or directory The terminal process terminated with exit code: 127

I realized the command string could hold multiple commands so I chained them using && and did:
{
"label": "launch site local (ngserve)",
"type": "shell",
"group": "build",
"command": "cd C:/Users/me && npm start",
"problemMatcher": ["$tsc"]
}
Note that this solution is default shell specific (powershell doesnt handle this well)- I am using Git Bash on windows.
You can change your default shell for a specific command by adding the options param to the task above. The options param looks like this:
Change the path to git bash shell location
"options": {
"shell": {
"executable": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe",
"args": ["/d", "/c"]
}
