Tasks: 'focus' overrides 'reveal' property in presentation

[arookas]

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

• VS Code Version: 1.100.2 848b80a
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set "focus": true and "reveal": "never" for build task
2. Run task
3. Terminal is revealed

This is not mentioned in the task.json schema:

  /**
   * Controls whether the panel showing the task output is taking focus.
   * Defaults to `false`.
   */
  focus?: boolean;

What I've been trying to get to work is this behavior:

1. Set "reveal: "silent" and "focus": true in build task
2. Run task
3. Terminal is not revealed
4. If the task was successful, the task exits without revealing
5. If the task has a problem, the terminal is revealed and focused

Is there any way I can achieve this behavior?

Hey, thanks for the issue. There's no way to focus a background terminal, thus closing this.
