continuous freezes and crashes on vscode extension (for the past ~1.5 weeks)

Issue Description

continuous freezes and crashes on vscode extension (for the past ~1.5 weeks)

either crashes similar to below:

or the console simply stops showing output during a long running command, such as a deployment.

It just cycles on this error and never returns in the console, until it’s reset.

thanks @andschwa

will keep you posted.

“terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions”: false

Ah ha! @brwilkinson I think you might be experiencing a different face of the VS Code bug introduced in 1.53, and discussed in #3227. Could you try updating to 1.54.2 and set that setting back to true to see if it’s been resolved? I think essentially the fix in 1.54.2 disables that setting for extension owned terminals (like ours).
