why does a terminal prompt not show the current working folder? How to fix it?

[CaliYost]

I found the same problem which is with a path containg bracket.

When the path contains square brackets, spawning a new terminal using powershell and "terminal.integrated.cwd" does not function properly

---

I open two folders with VSCode.

One folder hello to the right with a powershell of terminal panel by default showing current working directory where hello is.

The other folder to the left with a powershell of terminal panel by default showing a folder under

C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell

instead of the folder I open.

It seem only the folder to the left occurs this situation.

Why is that?

I tried to use cd command to change the cwd shown in the powershell of terminal panel and restarted my VSCode.

But it does not work.

Here is the settings.json

{
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
"workbench.colorTheme": "Solarized Light",
"python.terminal.executeInFileDir": true
}

How do I set each folder I open in VSCode and then poweshell of terminal panel shows corresponding folder I actually open instead of the same folder under

C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell

@CaliYost I think you might need to update the powershell version you have, here is the relevant issue microsoft/vscode#145441

Closing this as this is not related to python extension.
