Local terminal can't be opened: \bin\bash not found (though VS Code running on Windows) #148572

Description

  • VSCode Version: 1.66.1
  • Local OS Version: Windows 10
  • Remote OS Version: Linux
  • Remote Extension/Connection Type: Docker/WSL2 running on host
  • Logs: error message: The terminal process failed to launch: Path to shell executable "\bin\bash" does not exist.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. VS Code command: > Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal (Local)
  2. The error popup appears (see above "Logs")

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: N/A
Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Seems like microsoft/vscode-remote-release#730 is broken.
I checked with @modified terminal if there are any changes. Only inside the container the following settings are set:
terminal.integrated.profiles.linux and terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux.
Shouldn't it run cmd or powershell locally?
