Thanks, you can probably workaround this with this setting:

"terminal.integrated.splitCwd": "initial"

[CrazyF-wind]

I has try this settings by your suggestion. And it really not error.Thanks!But this way to create a terminal is not my default way.When I create a new terminal.It go to its father's file path , not it is before. If has a way to realize my need?

[Tyriar]

Yeah that's what the setting does, you can't get what you're after until we fix this bug.

[CrazyF-wind]

OK!I understand.Thank you!

I guess this is obvious, but the problem also occurs with European characters (at least french), and very likely with Arabic, Japanese, Indian, Korean characters as well.

I also switched to "terminal.integrated.splitCwd": "initial" in order to work around the problem.

I had this issue with the project folder itself containing unicode (greek letters). To my surprise, the "terminal.integrated.splitCwd": "initial" hack still worked, the new terminal now sucesfully launches in the project folder.

Also happens when the cwd is set via runInTerminal #135432

[int19h]

Note that in the latter case, it's not just the cwd that's affected - it's also all the command line arguments.

[Tyriar]

@int19h good point, this is probably an issue in debug land actually or related to encoding in the shell. Reopening it.

To verifier: When testing make sure shell integration is off
