Sublime Merge silently fails to open custom editor under certain conditions #1819

Version info

Description

I have set VS Code as the default editor for Sublime Merge. Here are the settings:

{
    "side_bar_layout": "locations_as_column",
    "expand_untracked_files_by_default": false,
    "font_size": 11,
    "diff_algorithm": "match_git",
    "ignore_diff_white_space": false,
    "always_show_command_status": true,
    "editor_path": "C:\\Users\\Alex\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Microsoft VS Code\\Code.exe",
    "editor_argument_format": "--goto ${file}:${line}:${col}",
    "editor_wait_args": "--wait"
}

It works fine when I open the Sublime Merge executable from the desktop shortcut, start menu, or even via the smerge . command.

However, if Sublime Merge is opened from VS Code (specifically, via a plugin called Sublime Merge for VSCode, which appears to use smerge.exe with some parameters to launch Sublime Merge), Sublime Merge fails to open the editor. This could potentially be due to the way the VS Code plugin launches Sublime Merge. However, even if that is the case, the absence of any error logs or messages in Sublime Merge makes it feel like Sublime Merge's issue in the first place.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set VS Code as the default editor in Sublime Merge preferences with the settings as defined above.
  2. Install Sublime Merge for VSCode plugin.
  3. Open Sublime Merge from VS Code using any of the options provided by that plugin (e.g., via right-click → Open repository in Sublime Merge).
  4. Try to perform any action in Sublime Merge that should normally open the specified editor, such as "Open in editor..." or simply try "Preferences → Edit settings...". Sublime Merge doesn't open editor either way.

Expected Behavior

One of the following should occur: a) The specified custom editor (i.e., VS Code) opens when you click on "Open in editor..." or "Preferences → Edit settings..." b) The Sublime Merge console displays an error or otherwise indicates why the editor was not opened.

Debug Information

The problem persists regardless of the repository.
