errors in dependsOn background tasks do not prevent subsequent tasks from executing #70283

"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}\\src\\FrontEnd\\build",
"preLaunchTask": "core"
}
]
}
- create task.json:
{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format
"version": "2.0.0",

],
"background": {

}
]
}
I can use beginsPattern/endsPattern with no issue if I direct launched by preLaunchTask, but if I have DependsOn for same task, it will run the dependencies but can't detect it's status by using endsPattern, the task will hang there. it looks like a bug for me.
I tried to use the new Terminal: "terminal.integrated.windowsEnableConpty": false/true, no difference.
I tried to use presentation.panel:"dedicated", no difference.
I think we have done a nice work on putting tasks running in background and launch, but not those tasks in DependsOn property.
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
