Run and Debug buttons and keyboard shortcuts are ignoring system path

[pbaret]

The extensions buttons are ignoring my system Path so I am not able to run without debugging or debug a c++ program which is using external library from my system PATH using the buttons.

The F5 and CTRL+F5 shortcuts don't seem to work either WHEREAS (and this is very weird) clicking from the menu works

Any idea how to configure that?

@pbaret What do you mean "they are ignoring your system PATH"? Did you open VS Code with this system path?

[florenso]

its a bit strange you can launch with cmake. but cmakes quick launch buttons do not include the PATH or any other args.

use launch.json instead.

see #3989

@florenso This sounds like a bug, or at least something we should think about improving, could you create an issue for this?

[florenso]

I did
#3990

@gcampbell-msft I mean it fails launching the program because it acts like it can't find the external library (dll files for instance, which I am 100% sure are in the "system path" variable of my computer).
