There is no a dependency named "dependsOn" for Express.js application

OS: Windows
Build Version: 20200228.2
Node.js Version: 12.x.x

Repro Steps:

1. Create and initialize a new Express.js application by below:

npx express-generator nodeapp
cd nodeapp
npm install

2. Open this application folder in VS Code --> Switch to the debug tab -->Select "create a launch.json" file --> Select "Node.js" when asked to select an environment.
3. Select "Dapr: Scaffold Dapr Tasks" from Command Palette --> Select "Launch Program" when asked to select a configuration --> Enter an application ID --> Enter an application port.
4. Open the ".vscode/tasks.json" file --> Check whether there is a dependency ("dependsOn") and it should set to "build".

Expect:
There is a dependency ("dependsOn") and it has been set to "build".

Actual:
There is no a dependency named "dependsOn".

@v-dantch You're right, that's a test case bug. The task in the Node.js scenario should not have a "dependsOn" property as there's no build step for that kind of Node.js application (as the JavaScript is interpreted and not compiled). I've updated the test case.
