Toolchain Manager v1.1.3 reports VS code not detected

[truefalse]

Toolchain Manager reports "VS code not detected..." when I try to "Open VS Code".

This problem started after I upgraded Toolchain Manager to v1.1.3.

The log file follows:

Hi,

Is VS Code in your path (can you open it by typing "code" in your terminal)? If not, the Toolchain Manager will not be able to start it, and the fix should be to add it to your path.

[truefalse]

Typing "code" in my terminal does work and for example "code --list-extensions" works also.

[Einar Thorsrud]

I see. There could still be some issues with the path seen by the Toolchain manger, though. Can you try to add VS Code to the path as explained here? If it still does not work, it would be helpful if you could open the developer tools (CMD+Options+j  on a Mac), select Console and run `process.env.PATH` in the console and copy-paste the output here.

Update: There seems to be a bug here. The maintainers are looking into it, will update when I have more.

Which macOS version are you using?

[truefalse]

MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6

No updates available for this OS version / hardware.

[truefalse]

Correction! I gave you information about the wrong machine.

This is the correct information:

macOS Monterey Version12.5.1

[truefalse]

I ran the command "process.env.PATH'" on the wrong machine.

Here are the results from running the command on the correct machine

Thanks. The maintainers of nRF Connect for Desktop are looking into this now. I will let you know once we have some suggestions.
