Error when I open integrated terminal on macOS

[kevinb22]

• VSCode Version: 1.16.1
• OS Version: 10.12.6 (Sierra)

Error: The terminal process command /bin/false -l failed to launch (exit code: 1)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open integrated terminal
2. Verify that error pops up at top of the screen.

Workaround:
Seems that /bin/false wasn't a file on my computer. There was /usr/bin/false, but using that path in settings still gave the same error.

In the end I overwrote the default settings for the integrated terminal to be "terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "bash" and then it launched as normal.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

This happens in some enterprise environments when they change $SHELL to /bin/false to try to prevent usage. You can try adding this to your settings:

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

If that doesn't work I suggest contacting your sysadmin.
