Terminal is different in VSCodium compared to VSCode

[ElnuDev]

Describe the bug

In VSCode, the terminal works perfectly normally, and behaves just like my normal operating system terminal. However, in VSCodium, commands are prefixed with sh-5.1$ instead of my usual elnu@pop-os:~$. Furthermore, there is no highlighting, and some commands don't even work. Typing in rustc yields sh: rustc: command not found, even though it works just fine in a normal command line. However, commands like python3 seem to work fine.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but still, I feel like VSCodium's terminal should operate just like VSCode's by default. I don't remember ever changing any settings.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Pop!_OS 20.10
• Architecture: x86-64
• Version: 1.53.2

Command Palette > Default Shell

I don't think it's a VSCodium bug rather than default shell not selected to what you're used to.

Typing in rustc yields sh: rustc: command not found,

@ElnuDev This is because the folder where these binaries are is not in PATH. Write in your .zprofile or .bashrc or .zshrc this: export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

I can't seem to set the shell nor profile to have zsh on manjaro...

When following : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal#_terminal-profiles

I get : Command "Terminal: Select Default Profile" resulted in a error (ENOENT: no such file or directory, open "/etc/shells"

I added the export path in my .zshrc, but that doesn't seem to change anything.

And i'm stuck with bash or javascript debuging

Is your defaultProfile correctly set?

[Teajey]

I'm having this issue... My user settings look like this:

{
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "zsh": {
            "path": "/usr/bin/zsh",
            "args": ["-l"]
        }
    },
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh"
}

I also get this result in the VSCodium terminal:

sh-5.1$ ls /bin | grep zsh
sh-5.1$

As opposed to this in GNOME Terminal:

[thomas@thomas-desktop ~] ls /bin | grep zsh
rzsh
zsh
zsh5
[thomas@thomas-desktop ~]

When I choose 'Terminal: Select Default Profile' there are no options to select from...

[Teajey]

It seems like it's running in some kind of virtual environment? I found zsh at /run/host/usr/bin/zsh. Everything that would normally be in the root filesystem is in /run/host, but /home is still the same. I have / mounted in a separate partition from /home, so I wonder if that could have something to do with it

[Teajey]

Also, yeah, the highlighting's not working when I execute /run/host/usr/bin/zsh...

[Teajey]

I'm on Linux Mint. I expected that it might have something to do with Flatpak. So I uninstalled the version that I got from Linux Mint's Software Manager and reinstalled from the releases on this repo and it works fine. I guess Flatpak applications, or those from the Software Manager are put in some kind of playpen
