"There are task errors" while typing in tasks.json

See original GitHub issue

Have a task like this:

{
	"type": "npm",
	"script": "web",
	"label": "Run web",
	"isBackground": true,
	"presentation": {
		"reveal": "never"
	}
}

Add this

"problemMatcher": {
	"background": {

	}
},

Get a warning popup immediately, “There are task errors. See the output for details”
I’m still typing, I know there are errors, it should leave me alone for a minute or until I close the editor

I’ve encountered this too.

couldn’t we update without the delay but if something is not correct, wait 20 seconds, check again, then decide whether or not to show the error notification?
