Can't open external terminals by default from a WSL session in VS CodeΒ #167865

@Tyriar

Description

@Tyriar

When debugging using an external terminal from WSL you see this:

MicrosoftTeams-image

It ends up calling the Linux exec setting:

MicrosoftTeams-image (1)

Ref:

Is there some way we can route WSL debug requests to a local external terminal? @aeschli thoughts on this? Do you think this should be handled somehow in the WSL extension? Feels like the a soft layer breaker if it goes into core.
