Same. I just came here to report it. I get the following:

$ code .

Command 'code' not found, did you mean:

  command 'cobe' from deb python-cobe (2.1.2-1)
  command 'node' from deb nodejs (10.15.2~dfsg-1)
  command 'cdde' from deb cdde (0.3.1-1build1)
  command 'cde' from deb cde (0.1+git9-g551e54d-1.1)
  command 'tcode' from deb emboss (6.6.0+dfsg-7)
  command 'ode' from deb plotutils (2.6-10)

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

I have tried uninstalling VSCode Insiders and reinstalled, without change. I have the Remote Development extensions installed and enabled.

From an integrated terminal in vscode right? You should have ~/.vscode-server/bin/hash/bin on your PATH. Is it possible that you have a bashrc or similar script removing it from the path?

From an integrated terminal in vscode right?

Ah, is that a requirement? I'm sure the article I read was taking about a standalone wsl shell. When i try it there does nothiby, not even return to prompt and ctrl c doesnt work. SO far I've had to open a new window in code and close the launching window which is messy.

[roblourens]

Yeah so if you run code . in an integrated terminal __in a Remote WSL window__ then it will be able to open that folder in another WSL session. Otherwise it is just invoking normal code.exe on your path.

not even return to prompt and ctrl c doesnt work

My guess is that this is due to calling an exe from a WSL session

I have the same issue even though this one is closed. I'm working on latest fast ring build with ubuntu on wsl2 and latest stable version of VSCode. Is this an issue within code/remote or there is some problem with wsl itself?
