"The system cannot find the path specified." when attempting to run a "type": "npm" Task #167

Description

@ELLIOTTCABLE

Apologies if I've ended up in the wrong place, but I'm somewhat new to VScode.

I'm attempting to setup a task to simply run npm run start:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Parcel Server",
      "type": "npm",
      "script": "start",
      "problemMatcher": []
    }
  ]
}

It looks like "type": "npm" is contributed by this plugin ... am I correct?

Unfortunately, when I attempt to run that, a new task-terminal opens, but it doesn't appear to attempt to use zsh, WSL2, or anything sane - instead, it's ... maybe a decades-old "CMD" terminal? I'm honestly not sure. But this is all I see:

> Executing task: npm run start <

The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Users\ec\Sync\Code\mod.repair>

What does this error-message mean? Is there a way I can get this working?
