Linux: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/snap/code'

[yerzhant]

Issue Type: Bug

Today after the Code has been updated to 1.30 I've started to receive the message:
ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/snap/code'
on every start of the VS Code.
On the previous version, which was 1.29.1, there wasn't that issue.

Ubuntu 18.04
Linux azan-dev 4.15.0-42-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 15 19:32:57 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Regards,
Yerzhan.

Just hit this same bug. Same OS & version as OP.

'/snap/code' doesn't exist, but '/snap/vscode' does FWIW.

Same issue with KDE Neon 5.14 and it started with vscode version 1.30.0 just like it happened with you.

Facing this issue as well. My OS version is Ubuntu 16.04 and vscode version is 1.30.0. I have /snap/vscode folder but not /snap/code.

I think this will be solved by #64392 .

Same issue with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. VScode 1.30.0 installed from the Snap is fetching from a wrong directory when searching for updates (it should be '/snap/vscode' and not '/snap/code').

I don't know the fix, but I made a 'code' and 'current' sub-folder. Maybe it'll stop complainin' for the time being.

Martin Wimpress (@flexiondotorg) looks like there's an issue breaking v1.30 in https://snapcraft.io/vscode

In the meantime you can install the deb package from the website, note that the snap package is currently still experimental.
