The `tasks.json` file defines how your code is built. If the `command` or `args` within your build task are incorrect, or if the compiler path specified doesn't align with your macOS setup, it can lead to this error. Ensure the compiler command (e.g., `g++` or `clang++`) is used and that it's in the system's PATH.
