Not working on Manjaro Linux

[Octelly]

Sync fails to install the extensions with the following error:

"bin/code" --install-extension ms-python.python
Error: Command failed: "bin/code" --install-extension ms-python.python
/bin/sh: bin/code: No such file or directory

This issue didn't occur to me on Windows or Debian-based distributions (namely Ubuntu and Elementary OS).

same on archlinux (not so surprising...)

imho the problem could be at https://github.com/shanalikhan/code-settings-sync/blob/master/src/service/pluginService.ts#L288

else if (osType === OsType.Linux) {
      if (isInsiders) {
        codeLastFolder = "code-insiders";
        codeCliPath = "bin/code-insiders";
      } else {
        codeLastFolder = "code";
        codeCliPath = "bin/code";
      }

should be

else if (osType === OsType.Linux) {
      if (isInsiders) {
        codeLastFolder = "code-insiders";
        codeCliPath = "/bin/code-insiders";
      } else {
        codeLastFolder = "code";
        codeCliPath = "/bin/code";
      }

@ildoc can you send me a PR where you think it can be improved for Manjaro Linux, while keeping the support for ubuntu and other os.

A quick workaround while someone has time to create the PR:

mkdir -p ~/bin
ln -s `which code` ~/bin/code

I have just tested it and restored my configuration on Manjaro.

@cristiangauma your solution work fine with "code - oss" (open source version of vscode) on arch linux

[kestel]

@cristiangauma also your solution help on VSCodium.

[alfinbi]

same problem here using arch linux, the path should be /bin/code, not bin/code
solution provided by @ildoc should be applied...
