Note we are looking for someone to take responsibility around keeping create-react-app up to date and working, could this be you?

Nevermind, it works now

@muhajirframe, what did you do to get it working?

[muhajirdev]

I was using elementaryOS,
I tried to open vscode with code command from terminal.

cd to the directory and code .

@muhajirdev that doesn't mean it's working, that is just a workaround. The main problem is if you install node with NVM, code struggles at locating node

@Emobe What is the solution though? I am able to run node from bash inside VSC, but on vscode-jest it fails.
