Hi,

My VSC 1.19.2 also crashed in MAC High Sierra:

Thanks, Naldo

@nalcalde any steps that leads to your crash?

[planetwebmethods]

I have already pasted it the issue. It looks the same as the one that Naldo attached.

[planetwebmethods]

I was able to resolve the issue.... But that's a temporary fix for me.

on terminal issue the command

unset NEXT_ROOT

Then starting code works fine. Looks like this environment variable is causing issues.

Thanks Ashish

Yeah seems to be the same issue as https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/21931

[bpasero]

@planetwebmethods @nalcalde do you get this crash when you run the app from the dock or only when you run from the command line?

[planetwebmethods]

I get it both ways

Thanks Ashish

[planetwebmethods]

Do we have nay updates on this???? Its killing my time

[planetwebmethods]

Another update:

After doing unset NEXT_ROOT, Code still does not open if I open from Spotlight/Launchpad/ Applications

It does open fine if I open from Terminal.

[nalcalde]

Crashes in both ways: command line and dock.

unset NEXT_ROOT not works for me.

Hi guys,

I figure out that installed icon of VSC not works, but launching by command line works!

"/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code"

Enjoy it.

Regards, Naldo

unset NEXT_ROOT worked for me High Sierra 10.13.3

[planetwebmethods]

Yes that works. But you will need to open it every time from terminal.

This is probably a separate issue, but if there's anyone else here who landed here after experiencing a (seemingly) unbreakable 'A window/tab crashed before, what now? Reopen / Don't Reopen' crash loop in Mac OSX High Sierra: for me the solution turned out to be deleting the following folder: ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.microsoft.VSCode.savedState

Jesus Christ this is annoying, VS Code
