The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (File not found: )

Question

I keep using vscode debug for long time. But it began to fails to use debug from yesterday.

It reports that The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (File not found: ).

I can use powershell in terminal.

In my case this problem arising after updating VS Code version to 1.54.3 on Ubuntu 18.04.

This problem is resolved by restarting VS Code after the update.
