Nx Console Auto-Install Request Blocks VS Code Tasks from running

[yingw787]

Current Behavior

I have a VS Code task, defined in tasks.json as:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "service-gis:serve",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "pnpm dlx nx run service-gis:serve",
      "isBackground": false,
      "presentation": {
        "echo": true,
        "reveal": "always",
        "focus": true,
        "panel": "shared",
        "showReuseMessage": true,
        "clear": false
      },
      "problemMatcher": []
    }
]
}

I am in a DevContainer environment. I rebuild my container using Command Palette "> Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container". Then I go to Command Palette "> Tasks: Run Task" and select task "service-gis:serve". The first time I run this, I get this blocking command, as detailed here (

nx/packages/nx/src/utils/nx-console-prompt.ts

Line 42 in 9e8c1a1

'- Explore your workspace visually',

).

I have 16 of these tasks kicked off with one orchestrator VS Code task. I have to go to each and every single open terminal and select yes. I tried passing in flag NX_CONSOLE_PROMPT=false, --non-interactive, and yes | with no results. I have TUI disabled. I tried looking at the Nx source code and don't have any signs of disabling this feature. I have Nx console installed as part of my DevContainer setup.

Expected Behavior

When I run command pnpm dlx nx run service-gis:serve, I should be able to see the command run, without any further prompting, regardless of the state of my dev environment, especially if I have the Nx Console extension installed as per the prompt.

Additional Information

Really pissed about the TUI updates. I'm in the console because I want to avoid GUI bullshit like having to click on buttons or add in user inputs.
