If my default integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code is git-bash then an error happens. I found out that a workaround is to change the default integrated terminal to cmd or powershell. I tried changing the current terminal in my workspace settings to cmd.exe, but when I hit F5 to start debugging it incorrectly uses git-bash.

If I change the global settings files, then the debugger works as expected... but I don't want to change it globally as I work with git-bash in most of my other projects.

If I press the + button to create a new terminal, it creates a new cmd terminal as expected, using the workspace settings file definition for the default terminal.

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10
• JDK version: 14
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.48.2
• Java extension version: 0.10.0
• Java Debugger extension version: 0.28.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set git-bash as default integrated terminal in your global settings.
2. Set cmd as default integrated terminal in your workspace settings.
3. Press F5 to launch and start debugging

Current Result

It starts debugger using git-bash (which does not work for me):

Expected Result

Start debugging in a cmd.exe terminal (which works nicely):

(to get this screenshot I had to set the global default terminal)
