Using --extensions-dir and --user-data-dir in a launch task does not work #126737
Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
- VS Code Version: 1.57.1 507ce72 arm64
- OS Version: macOS 11.4
Steps to Reproduce:
- clone https://github.com/muuvmuuv/vscode-sundial
- run launch task
Launching will use my main VS Code settings and extension, while I explicitly told through "args" not to do so. It does work tho via command line code --user-data-dir=tmp/data --extensions-dir=tmp/ext testProject. While that, I noticed that with preLaunchTask it will never open.
