'zsh: command not found: ng' in Visual Studio Code's integrated terminal on Mac Catalina

Newer Macs (Catalina OS in my case) now have the default Z Shell aka zsh. Using a Mac zsh terminal window, I've successfully installed Angular 11.0.5 globally and created a project. I'm using nvm 0.32.2 and node 10.23.0.

However, on opening Visual Studio Code and navigating to my project within VS Code's integrated terminal, I get this error message using any ng command, such as trying to generate a component:

zsh: command not found: ng

Does anyone know how to properly set up Visual Studio Code's integrated terminal to properly identify ng commands using zsh?

I've found one possible work around here https://stackoverflow.com/a/58584109/6647188 but it uses third party tools which I'd like to avoid if possible. Is there no other known way to resolve this?

Here is the settings that worked for me

  "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.osx": "zsh",
  "terminal.integrated.profiles.osx": {
    "tmux": {
      "icon": "terminal-tmux",
      "path": "tmux"
    },
    "zsh": {
      "path": "/bin/zsh"
    }
  },

  • Sertings -> Features -> Terminal

  • Click in "Edit in settings.json”

  • Add this line(key value) to the object:

    "terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "/bin/zsh"

  • Close and relaunch Visual Code.

If this line does not work for you:

"terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "/bin/zsh"

Then try replacing "zsh" with "bash", like so:

"terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "/bin/bash"

New suggested way by vscode:

This is deprecated, the new recommended way to configure your default shell is by creating a terminal profile 
in `#terminal.integrated.profiles.osx#` and setting its profile name as the default 
in `#terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.osx#`. 

This will currently take priority over the new profiles settings but that will change in the future.
