Vscode: Updated to 1.40.0, code not starting

[miku86]

Hey folks,

Problem:
After updating my code version, it won't start.

VS Code version: Code - OSS 1.40.0
OS version: Linux x64 5.3.8-arch1-1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Upgrade from 1.39.2 => 1.40.0
2. Try to open code from terminal
3. Error electron4[4139]: ../../third_party/electron_node/src/node_file.cc:897:void node::fs::InternalModuleStat(const FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value> &): Assertion args[0]->IsString() failed.

Solution:

1. Downgrade 1.40.0 => 1.39.2

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Thanks for reading.

Seems to be arch related: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64432?project=5&string=code

I have the same issue on GNU/Linux 5.3.8-arch1-1 x64.

I ran into the very same issue moments ago on my
Arch Linux (5.3.8-arch1-1 x86_64) system.
