Doesn't open new code window on linux mint 17.3 - code: bad option: -n

[blamarche]

Is anyone else having this issue? It refuses to run the new code instance and I get the following error:

[Plugin Host] Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c code -n "/go/src/github.com/blamarche/assemble-web-chat"
code: bad option: -n

Hi @blamarche , I'll check that as soon as I get home.

I'm getting a similar error on Windows 10:

[Plugin Host] Error: Command failed: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /s /c "code -n "C:\Users\Martin\data\identities\personal\project\lucidity""

threadService.ts:199 [Plugin Host] -> null

I will fix the behavior for windows tonight but, in Linux there is a problem with the code executing with child_process, I've tried with Insiders .deb package and worked

[felipecaputo]

I've tried but still not working with linux, it starts a node app instead of code

@martinpengellyphillips Could you please test again in your windows 10 with 0.1.4 ?

[martinpengellyphillips]

@felipecaputo Thanks for looking into this. Still getting an error and no project being opened on Windows 10 with 0.1.4

Could it be related to alefragnani/vscode-project-manager#7 at all where the path to code had to be set manually to the code.cmd script?

[martinpengellyphillips]

Been testing a little more locally and it does appear that when launching code from terminal with C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin present in PATH then the opening of projects works as expected. That path points to the folder holding code.cmd not Code.exe.

When that path is not set then error occurs. Launching Code.exe directly from desktop also exhibits the issue.

[martinpengellyphillips]

I've put up a PR #3 with a potential fix for the Windows issue at least.

[felipecaputo]

Thx @martinpengellyphillips

[felipecaputo]

@blamarche I've tested this a lot, and it seems that in Linux the current code version is having some problems in being executed via child_process.exec, child_process.execFile and child_process.spawn.

I've testes with code-insiders and it works. So with the PR #3 in version 1.5 that I will finish the documentation to release it tonight it will work with code insiders but not with code itself.

Do you believe it solves this issue?
