https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks [vscode-docs/docs/editor/tasks.md] states:

You can also reference environment variables through ${env.Name} (e.g. ${env.PATH}).

But, I this doesn't seem to work for me.

The following tasks.json creates output that actually says "${env.PATH}" rather than substituting the PATH environmental variable.

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "cmd",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "Run shell command",
            "args": [ "/C", "ECHO", "${env.PATH}" ]
        }
    ]
}

I also tried using "${env.COMSPEC}" in place of "cmd" for the task command and VSCode throws an error saying:

'${env.COMSPEC}' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
