App Crash - Try using VS2022 developer command prompt

[mikedice]

Windows Terminal version

1.12.10733.0

Windows build number

10.0.22000.613

Other Software

Visual studio 2022 64 bit edition

Steps to reproduce

I integrated the VS2022 dev command prompt by adding the settings blurb below

            {
                "backgroundImage": "C:\\Users\\mikedice\\OneDrive - Microsoft\\Pictures\\Dune Art\\78129.jpg",
                "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.29999999999999999,
                "commandline": "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Enterprise\\Common7\\Tools\\VsDevCmd.bat",
                "font": 
                {
                    "size": 16
                },
                "foreground": "#16C60C",
                "guid": "{b3c68d96-cac9-4989-9f9c-ff61f248c02e}",
                "icon": "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}.png",
                "name": "IDK",
                "startingDirectory": "C:\\Users\\mikedice\\repos",
                "useAcrylic": false
            },

This is also the default profile

    "defaultProfile": "{b3c68d96-cac9-4989-9f9c-ff61f248c02e}",

Open Terminal
It shows the VS2022 command prompt intro banner for a couple of seconds
The Terminal App disappears. I assume the app crashed. I don't know where the logs are for this app.

If I change the defaultProfile to the GUID of one of my other configurations the app starts successfully. Now, though, if I try to start the "IDK" prompt that tab will disappear after showing the VS2022 command prompt intro banner briefly

Need to be able to use the VS2022 command prompt so I'll just use the old Windows console outside of terminal for now but, I won't be able to see my cool Dune background art :(

Expected Behavior

Can integrate VS 2022 command prompt into WIndows Terminal. I have been using the VS2019 command prompt in Windows Terminal for quite some time.

Actual Behavior

Cannot use VS2022 command prompt in WIndows Terminal. The terminal tab crashes.

I attached the debugger - here is the output:

@mikedice you might want to change the command to LauchDevCmd.bat. Using your custom profile, background picture included, this is the output:

When using VsDevCmd.bat the terminal closes immediately after showing VS banner. Notice I'm using VS community edition not enterprise, but the startup script should be the same.

Profile used for testing:

            {
                "backgroundImage": "c:\\Users\\tux\\Downloads\\78129.jpg",
                "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.29999999999999999,
                "commandline": "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community\\Common7\\Tools\\LaunchDevCmd.bat",
                "font": 
                {
                    "size": 16
                },
                "foreground": "#16C60C",
                "guid": "{9390ca34-9fba-495f-91b7-a6d2f6c56ac0}",
                "icon": "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}.png",
                "name": "IDK",
                "startingDirectory": "C:\\Users\\tux\\repos",
                "useAcrylic": false
            }

Thanks for looking and for the work around. The solution you provided above is working on my machine too.

Glad you got this sorted out!

In 1.12 the Terminal should have also automatically detected your VS installs and created profiles for you. Did you not see those?
