Terminal activation is slow on nushell

[flying-sheep]

#997 says to use the "python-envs.terminal.autoActivationType": "shellStartup" mode, which isn’t available on nushell.

But I’m sure things can be better. It takes 4 seconds or more until VS Code executes my shell startup command. Why?

I came across the same thing for powershell

Add the next line to your settings.json

"terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.timeout": 1

vscode-python-environments/src/features/terminal/utils.ts

Line 18 in 1eb7b67

if (typeof timeoutValue !== 'number' || timeoutValue < 0) {

Thanks, that’s a good workaround! For me, the minimum value of 500ms is totally OK as it works despite echoing the command to the shell (indicating that nushell wasn’t ready accepting it yet, but it still ran it after getting ready)

Thanks for the report and the workaround. I just opened #1501 which should fix this without requiring any settings changes.
