$PATH variable wrong

[mmatheson]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Launch VSCode
2. Connect to remote development machine using Extension: Remote - SSH v0.84.0
3. Open integrated terminal

Expected: $PATH matches $PATH I get when connecting via ssh outside of VSCode (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin)

Actual: $PATH contains one entry: /home/matt/.vscode-server/bin/3b889b090b5ad5793f524b5d1d39fda662b96a2a/bin/remote-cli

Outcome: Integrated terminal does not work, extensions that need to use $PATH for things like git do not work

VS Code version: Code 1.69.2 (3b889b090b5ad5793f524b5d1d39fda662b96a2a, 2022-07-18T16:32:39.000Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 21.5.0 Restricted Mode: No Remote OS version: Linux x64 5.15.0-41-generic Remote OS version: Linux x64 5.15.0-1014-azure

Seems like if I do the following, it works (but I have to re-do this every day):

1. Close vscode on local
2. ssh to remote
3. kill all vscode processes
4. rm -rf ~/.vscode-server/

I'm seeing the exact same thing, on 1.70.0-insider

Note: My remote machine is running tailscale as an ssh server

Similar issue: vscode remove /usr/bin from my PATH, while preserving /usr/condabin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/youjiacheng/.local/bin:/home/youjiacheng/bin. This only happens on one server. My /home is NFS, so all servers sharing the same .vscode-server, but only one has this problem.

I have the same issue using vscode and tailscale, seems to happen after tailscale key expiry, to fix uninstall vscode server ssh directly (not through tailscale ) then you can remote via tailscale
