VSCode terminal task not using zsh profile

Question

I'm trying to run a task on window load in VSCode where a terminal opens and nvm use && yarn dev is run by default. However, running this shell tasks seems to not load my zsh profile.

The output I get from running my task is:

The terminal process "zsh '-c', 'nvm use && yarn dev'" terminated with exit code: 127.

Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

But if I then manually start a new terminal and run the same command (ie: by pressing plus, opening a new integrated terminal), it will work as intended.

Suspecting that VSCode isn't loading my profile for some reason, I tried adding the following to my task, it resulted in the error /bin/zsh: can't open input file: nvm use && yarn dev The terminal process "zsh '-l', 'nvm use && yarn dev'" terminated with exit code: 127..

// in dev task
"options": {
  "shell": {
    "executable": "zsh",
    "args": ["-l"]
  }
},

.vscode/tasks.json

This worked for me*:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.osx": {
    "zsh": {
        "path": "/bin/zsh",
        "args": ["-l", "-i"]
    }
},

*(add to your settings.json)

Update- For default shell provide the below setting-

"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.osx": "zsh"
