Terminal Versions is 0.2.1715.0

I downloaded 'Windows Terminal' in Microsoft Store and it's not adding Ubuntu-16.04, Ubuntu-18.04 wsl tab.

What should I do? I already did reinstall all the things. And it doesn't work.

@GGyul-E that didn't work for me. The terminal flashes a purplish color for a fraction of a second then immediately closes.

Here is my configuration

{
  "acrylicOpacity": 0.75,
  "background": "#300A24",
  "closeOnExit": true,
  "colorScheme": "Campbell",
  "commandline": "wsl -d Ubuntu-18.04",
  "cursorColor": "#FFFFFF",
  "cursorShape": "bar",
  "fontFace": "Consolas",
  "fontSize": 10,
  "guid": "{951db0c8-b337-4c02-a677-06ea1329f8e9}",
  "historySize": 9001,
  "icon": "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{951db0c8-b337-4c02-a677-06ea1329f8e9}.png",
  "name": "Ubuntu 18.04",
  "padding": "0, 0, 0, 0",
  "snapOnInput": true,
  "useAcrylic": true
},

I'm also using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS version

Edit: I was able to take a screenshot before the tab closed and it says "There is no distribution with the supplied name"

Edit 2: I resolved the problem. I was missing the dot in "wsl -d Ubuntu-18.04" under '"commandline". I fixed it in the code above so people should be able to copy paste it and it should work.
