VSCode build task opens shell and stops without running command
I am currently attempting to run a build.bat script that builds my solution with the VSCode build tasks. Unfortunately all it does is open the command prompt without running the actual command as instructed. The task I'm currently attempting to run is
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "build",
"type": "shell",
"windows": {
"options": {
"cwd": "W:\handmade\code",
"shell": {
"args": [
"/k W:\handmade\misc\shell.bat"
]
}
},
"command": "build.bat",
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
]
}
]
}
What I'd expect as output is:
**********************************************************************
** Visual Studio 2017 Developer Command Prompt v15.8.4
** Copyright (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation
**********************************************************************
[vcvarsall.bat] Environment initialized for: 'x64'
W:handmadecode>build.bat
A subdirectory or file ....build already exists.

/out:win32_handmade.exe
/debug
win32_handmade.obj
user32.lib
Which is what I get if I run the command normally, what I get instead is
> Executing task: build.bat <

And then it hangs until exit is called. The command provided in the tasks.json is clearly never attempted executed and I'm at my wit's end as to why this is.
