This does not sound like a bug in VS Code but an issue with your setup, but leaving this issue open to see if others hit it as well. |

What inclined me to think this could be a VS Code bug is that it appeared exactly after the last VS Code update. VS Code is my IDE and I use it every day. If there's something I can do to test which one is the case, I am more than willing to try. I could think of one test, which is not conclusive but seems to suggest the issue is related to VS Code: |
|
So you cannot reproduce when you install |
|
I'm also experiencing the same issue with the Dolphin file manager after the last update, opening a file with the "Open file" dialog o dragging it to an opened Code window works fine. Code is installed through the snap package manager. These are the information displayed in the About dialog: Version: 1.89.0 |
|
Please downgrade and see if its not reproducible then: #212125 (comment) |

I can confirm that reverting Code with the "snap revert" command resolved the issue, the current installation details are the following: Version: 1.88.1 |
|
Interesting, can you add a 
And then attach the logs folder with a clean startup via your finder. Maybe also comparing |
|
@majid4466 are you also on Snap? Does this reproduce when not using Snap but Deb? |
|
Yes, I have VS Code installed as a Snap package. I am hesitant to experiment with my development machine by uninstalling VS Code and testing the deb version. If I get the chance to install the deb version on another machine I will report the result here. |
|
Thanks |
|
But it would still be interesting to get at the verbose logs when it works vs when it does not work. |
|
I tried to reproduce the issue on another workstation and a virtual machine but the snap package 1.89.0 works fine. If I find some time today I will retry to upgrade Code again on the pc that presented the issue and let you know the result. |
|
Yeah I am not expecting a regression in VS Code but a setup/install issue. |
|
I attached the log generated by opening a file from file manager with both Code versions. |
|
Yeah, as expected, in version And in So on the way of opening from the finder to VS Code, the argument is either never passed or lost. |

Moving to Daniel and Deepak as this seems Snap install related, I doubt we changed something how we create the Snap file, but I am not sure either. |

I have the same issue on Gnome Nautilus, double click on the file in the file manager launches a new empty instance of VSCode. I'm using Arch and VSCode is installed through AUR. Version: 1.89.1 |
same for me |

Same problem with thunar file manager on ubuntu: Version: 1.89.1 Installed through the deb package from apt repo |
After downgrading to 1.89.0 the issue still exists: # downgrading code from 1.89.1-1715060508 to 1.89.0-1714530869
sudo apt install code=1.89.0-1714530869First buggy version (.deb)Version: 1.89.0 A further downgrade to 1.88.1 fixes the problem: # downgrading code from 1.89.0-1714530869 to 1.88.1-1712771838
sudo apt install code=1.88.1-1712771838Last working version (.deb)Version: 1.88.1 |
Type: Bug
After the most recent update when I double click source files (*.php, *.js, etc.) a new instance of VS code is spawned and nothing is opened, neither in the already open vs code instance nor in the new one.
Files could be opened by dropping them on VS code window and by using the explorer as well as using search results.
My dev box has Xubuntu 20.04 and the file manager I use is Thunar.
