Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a repository on github, and hit . to open vscode.dev
2. Open command palette and run Tasks: Run Task or Tasks: Configure Tasks

Configure task keeps infintely loading.

thanks for the issue, do you know if this happened in earlier versions of vscode.dev?

I see

Warning: npm tasks are unavailable in the current environment.

Warning: shell tasks are unavailable in the current environment.

in the output channel. Unsure if these worked before

We've had this issue reported for several months in our internal version of web-based vscode. The issue seemed to stem that both commands awaited for the onDidRegisterAllSupportedExecutions event to be fired, which in a web environment this never gets fired, shell executions aren't supported for example.

Changing the condition to fire if any execution type is registered #212163 seems to resolve the issue and no issues seem to be visible user flow wise. The warnings generally show only when some non-supported executions are available, but don't cause issues for the dialog or show up as options for users.
