Reloading a Gitpod tab looses open tasks in terminal window

[janpio]

Bug description

I have a project where we use as "Task" to start a three panel terminal combination, each running a script that opens a port. When I accidentally reloaded the tab with Gitpod, the project itself came back and the ports are also still in use - but the terminal windows with the running processes are gone - so I can not restart them. I can also not run the task again, as the ports it would require are already in use.

I had to open a completely new GitPod windows.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start process in terminal that opens a port via Task
2. Reload Gitpod tab
3. Observe that port is still in use, but terminal running the task is gone

@janpio Maybe you have a public repo where it can be reliable reproduced? If not then it happens next time could you follow [1] please.

Will take a look through and see if I can consistently replicate.

No public repo unfortunately. But I can try again with the private one.

Update: Is easily reproducable in our repository, I sent an email with subject Logs for https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/9023 to support@

Some info what I am doing:
We have a repo with a file .vscode/tasks.json. I open the command palette, select "Tasks: Run Task", then select one of the available ones. That opens 3 terminals next to each other, each process opens a port. I hit F5 on the browser window, all the ports are still in use but the terminal windows are gone.

I can share the content of tasks.json:

}

The tasks I am starting is dev:browser.

Just experienced the very same behaviour:

https://www.loom.com/share/9d00c982c7824e7c97b3c815a2b80c61

The workspace pod just logged:

[IPC Library: Pty Host]  WARN Shell integration cannot be enabled for executable "/bin/bash" and args []

I can reliably reproduce this with VS Code Web, VS Code desktop and with the "latest" and "stable" versions.
