It's another graceful coding day, but all of a sudden the zsh's villain attacks on vscode and pops up a toast message with the temorous error:

The terminal process failed to launch: Path to shell executable "zsh" is not a file of a symlink ?

And zsh never works again on vscode's integrated terminal ?

But don't fear my lil locust, everything has a happy ending!

To solve this error you just need to open your user settings with CTRL + SHIFT + P and search for Open User Settings then search for Terminal Settings after that click on Edit in settings.json and finnaly add these lines into your json

"terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
    "bash": {
      "path": "bash"
    },
    "zsh": {
      "path": "/usr/bin/zsh"
    }
  },
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh",

If you don't know your zsh path, just open your terminal CTRL + T and execute this command which zsh then you will see your zsh's path.

cheers
