Does this occur consistently? Yes Repro steps:

1. Run any docker container.
2. Open the docker tab from Side Bar
3. Right click on any running container.
4. Select either View Logs or Attach Shell

Error:

Since I have installed docker in the default install location, C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker.exe the space in Program Files is causing the issue.

The error also occurs when trying to run some npm build commands from the JS debugger

Do you have a value set for the VSCode setting docker.dockerPath?

Do you have a value set for the VSCode setting docker.dockerPath?

I tried setting it to the same value as in the PATH environment variable, but that caused

I tried both paths: "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker.exe" "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin"

Try resetting the setting to have no value, does the issue still reproduce?

VS code is able to find docker but, the original issue still reproduces.

It looks like you're using cmd as your shell, does it still happen if you use PowerShell as your shell instead? The relevant setting is terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows I believe. This may work as a workaround.

cmd is supported so this should be working, there might be a bug in VSCode because it's supposed to be handling the shell quoting for us in the case of task execution which is what's happening here.

Whoa! It worked with PowerShell as default shell.

I'm not able to reproduce in VSCode 1.86.1, can you check if this still repros for you in the latest VSCode?
