VS Code Duplicate Icons (NOT DUPLICATE of existing Issue steps to replicate tested on separate mac with success) #113955

Closed Sergio16T closed 3 years ago

Sergio16T commented 3 years ago

Duplicate Icons in Dock On Mac OS (This is not an exact duplicate of existing issue - I read through those and they did not have steps to reproduce I was able to replicate it on older mac with same OS and VS code version) Something to do with Shell commands being installed with VS code 1 time in the downloads folder and then reinstalled again in the applications folder to enable the code . command from terminal .

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. VS code is installed in downloads folder
  2. Command P >Shell Command Install Code Command in Path
  3. Move VS Code from downloads folder to applications folder
  4. Code . command from terminal no longer works so I have to repeat step 2 to reinstall the Code Command in Path
  5. Run code . to open a directory with code in it
  6. Change directory to another code base and run code . from terminal again (this leads to duplicate icons in desktop)

Please help. Not sure how to fix not enjoying the duplicate VS code icons.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No Yes

Similar to Issue #60579 but this includes steps to reproduce. Hoping to receive guidance if it's having to do with shell command perhaps I can fix it with some commands that I do not know. Otherwise I hope this report is helpful if it's a potential bug fix I imagine the steps to reproduce will help. Not sure it's OS mac bug or VS code bug.

Seems like a duplicate to me, for example https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/60579#issuecomment-732163120 also suggests running code . twice, and I think that's the main issue.

Are you unable to reproduce the issue if you only do steps 5 and 6?
