VS 2017- Current directory in task configuration works well only on one computer










0















I have written simple program named main.c which is compiled by a makefile, and both files are at folder named vsCleanTry.

I opened this folder at VS 2017, and then configured the following task in it:




"version": "0.2.1",
"tasks": [

"taskName": "PWD",
"appliesTo": "/",
"command": "pwd",
"type": "default"

]



When I click on "PWD" in my computer, I get the following wanted output:



/cygdrive/j/vsCleanTry 


But when I try to do the same thing from a different computer (that uses same operating system) the output is:



/cygdrive/c/Users/johnOf/source


This is problematic because I want to configure another tasks which are dependent on that folder path as the working directory.



Do you know why I get different results on the other computer and how can I fix it to be like in my computer?
