I can not launch cpp target in my console using cmake-tools with version 1.12.13

[CSQ223]

Brief Issue Summary

When I launched my cpp target using the triangular button, the powershell only echoes the name of cpp target as follows, but Nothing runs.

PS D:\dev\cpp_template\build> "D:/dev/cpp_template/build/cpp_template.exe"
D:/dev/cpp_template/build/cpp_template.exe
PS D:\dev\cpp_template\build>

Can you run "CMake: log diagnostics" and share the result here with us?

The . is missing before the quoted path for some reason. We should be adding the dot before the quote when "PowerShell" is in the path of your shell program. Is your PowerShell installed in some other folder? Normally it's in one of these two places:

• C:/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell
• C:/Program Files/PowerShell/7

I'm using PowerShell 7 installed via Scoop (this means the path is not the default installation location) and the dot before the quoted path is also missing for me.
Edit: This seem to be a duplicate of #2621. To me it doesn't look like the install location has anything to do with the problem.

@LucasOe what path is your version installed to? Sorry, I'm not familiar with Scoop. We could potentially fix this by checking the name of the terminal process pwsh.exe in addition to looking at the path.

[LucasOe]

@bobbrow By default scoop installs to C:\Users\<Username>\scoop\apps\pwsh\current\pwsh.exe. According to the docs system-wide installations install to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\scoop, but I haven't tried that.

Thanks for confirming. That explains why our fix for other PowerShell installations is not working in your case.
