trying to run zsh as the vscode terminal shell and the program has no idea zsh exists. /usr/bin/zsh just isnt there when i inspect using the vscode terminal. but my normal system terminal sees it just fine. what the hell is going on

@thatcosmonaut using macOS? does the vscode terminal execute your bash_profile that adds your homebrew bin to your path?

@thatcosmonaut vscode uses your environment’s $SHELL variable. It’s possible that it isn’t set, and so your $PATH isn’t populated in the integrated terminal. Try overriding your “terminal.integrated.shell.linux” setting to point to “/usr/bin/zsh”

@thatcosmonaut oooooh yeah. I think flatpack does some wacky stuff where applications are distributed with their own file system and environment rather than adding them to your system.
