I've not reported this at https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/blob/1042d2f23535c518b32f37f6f44b62254a4116b4/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug-report.yml because it occurs irrespective of whether https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/releases/download/v2024.2.2/powershell-2024.2.2.vsix is enabled.

I have asked about something similar (caused by the same problem, but with Pylance) at r/VSCode and didn't receive any useful response.

Steps to Reproduce

When I launch code-insiders, the undermentioned error messages appear:

  1. Unable to resolve your shell environment: Unexpected exit code from spawned shell (code 1, signal null)

  2. The terminal process "/snap/bin/powershell" failed to launch (exit code: 1).

  3.

...as the undermentioned demonstrates:

They began after I chsh -s'd my $Env:SHELL to /snap/bin/powershell, as https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/revisionless-path-to-mounted-snap-package-resource/40565/21?u=beedellrokejulianloc recommends:

  1. getent passwd $(id -un) | awk -F : '{print $NF}' # [source](https://stackoverflow.com/revisions/16946720/3)
  2. /snap/bin/powershell

so it appears that VS Code doesn't support PowerShell as the login shell on Linux-based OSes, which is ironic.

These completely disappeared after:

chsh -s '/bin/bash' && Restart-Computer

...so the problem is indeed that it doesn't cope with the shell.
