automationShell.osx doesnt work when set in workspaceFolder

[jahan01]

• VSCode Version: 1.47 - Tested with insider version as well
• OS Version: Mac 10.15

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a vscode workspace
2. Set the following in workspace settings ( .vscode/settings.json)

"terminal.integrated.automationShell.osx": "/bin/bash"

3. Launch a build task (tested with default tsc build task without anything in tasks.json), it still runs in the default shell.
4. Keep the same setting in global user settings.
5. Launch a build task, opens in the configured shell correctly.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

This is intentional, we don't want random repositories you clone to set your shell without your knowledge. To enable the behavior you want, use the command Terminal: Manage Workspace Shell Permissions.

thanks, it works.. setting description or docs doesn't provide any information on this. Perhaps a note in the settings description, describing this behaviour would have avoided me creating this ticket and thus would have saved some your time.

@Tyriar FYI on above comment

We will likely be revisiting workspace permissions UX soon 👍
