CMake command not working in VS Code task

I have created a task in my tasks.json file in Visual Studio Code:

tasks.json

{
"label": "cmake",
"command": "cmake",
"args": [
"-G",
""Unix Makefiles"",
"-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug",
".."
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/build"
},
"problemMatcher":
},


When I run it from within VSC (Tasks: run task > cmake), I get the following error:

> Executing task: cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. <

CMake Error: Could not create named generator "Unix Makefiles"

Generators
Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
Ninja = Generates build.ninja files.
Xcode = Generate Xcode project files.
CodeBlocks - Ninja = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
CodeLite - Ninja = Generates CodeLite project files.
CodeLite - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeLite project files.
Sublime Text 2 - Ninja = Generates Sublime Text 2 project files.
Sublime Text 2 - Unix Makefiles
= Generates Sublime Text 2 project files.
Kate - Ninja = Generates Kate project files.
Kate - Unix Makefiles = Generates Kate project files.
Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles= Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.

The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1


However if I execute the exact same command in terminal it works as expected:

oyvinds-MacBook:build oyvindhauge$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /Users/oyvindhauge/Documents/Development/[PROJECT]/build
oyvinds-MacBook:build oyvindhauge$


Any idea what's going on?

"Unix Makefiles"

-G
