Why isn't an environment created with \newtcblisting treated as a verbatim environment?

I am using tcolorbox with minted to create a new environment, like this:

\newtcblisting{codebox}[2]{
    listing only,
    listing engine=minted,
    minted language=#2,
    breakable,
    enhanced,
    colback=white,
    coltitle=black,
    colbacktitle=white,
    top=0pt,
    bottom=0pt,
    sharp corners,
    title=\textbf{#1:},
    minted options = {
        linenos,
        autogobble,
        breaklines,
        escapeinside=||,
        xleftmargin=10pt,
    },
    overlay={%
        \begin{tcbclipinterior}
            \draw [line width=1pt] (frame.north west) rectangle ([xshift=18pt]frame.south west);
        \end{tcbclipinterior}
    }}

Problem is that when I use this envrionment, it treats the text inside as latex code and so it tries to format it as such, but this problem doesn't occur when creating a minted environment.

    \begin{codebox}{Program}{c}
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Hello, World!");
    return 0;
}
    \end{codebox}

Someone pointed out to me that it is possible that this plugin has special handling for the minted environment and from a quick search through the repository it does seem like it. So is this a problem with this plugin itself or my code? In any case, any tips on how to fix this?

Never mind, I just found this and it does seem to solve my problem:

TeXiFy-IDEA/src/nl/hannahsten/texifyidea/psi/LatexLanguageInjector.kt

Lines 41 to 44 in 625acea

	host.getEnvironmentName().endsWith("code", ignoreCase = false) -> {
	// Environment may have been defined with the \newminted shortcut (see minted documentation)
	host.getEnvironmentName().remove("code")
	}

Thanks for pointing this out, I think we simply never considered \newtcblisting, we should add it somehow as hardcoded information that that command produces listing environments.
There are indeed various workarounds, and the one you discovered is probably easiest.
