macos Catalina: when starting vscode from the command line, I get output to both stdout and stderr

[illbebach]

• VSCode Version: 1.15.1
• OS Version: 19.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.6.0

When I start code from the command line, I get a lot of output. I have never seen any such output on WSL, Windows 10, or Linux.

$ code .bash_profile 
[main 2020-12-01T03:33:18.807Z] update#setState idle

FYI, I renamed ~/.vscode, removed and downloaded vscode anew. No changes in the behavior described above.

Same happens to me on Windows 10 when using Windows Terminal.

Same issue on macOS Monterey.

Logs are from the runtime and cannot be disabled. Output should be better with recent versions.

I used to have a similar problem when calling /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron "$1".

Using /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code "$1" seems to address the problem.
