Originally created by @ghost on GitHub (Jan 29, 2020).

Environment

Windows 10 Pro 1909 18363.592

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Use the attached profiles.json

Expected behavior

Multiple WSLs should be in the dropdown. It works for CMD. The idea is to have different WSLs for when I need to access QA / Prod, to use the theme to differentiate where I'm logged into.

Actual behavior

Only one WSL in the dropdown. It works for CMD, although the second cmd is missing it's icon.

@DHowett-MSFT We've had this discussion before - should we put the commandline in dynamically generated profiles?

If we put the commandline in, it'll be subject to the same rules that we run afoul of with the name in #4273. We could put it in a comment ... but it would not be easily discovered

Found out I can change bashrc so I can set QA servers to have a specific color prompt and Prod servers another, which basically solves what I was trying to achieve :)

I think the workaround is to replace "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl", line with "commandline": "wsl.exe -d Ubuntu-18.04", .
I put a sample at https://github.com/inoue-katsumi/WSL/blob/master/profiles.json
