Opening another vscode window from the console of the second one produces CreateFile error

[artaommahe]

• VSCode Version: 1.49.2
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19041

Steps to Reproduce:

1. open any folder in vscode
2. open any other folder in the new vscode window
3. open third folder from the terminal of the second window (e.g. code ../smth)
4. see an error in the terminal of the second vscode window

PS D:\projects\skyeng\skyeng-frontend\libs\shared\widgets> code ..\api\
[0926/115205.296:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(103)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

(though third window opens well)

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

Can be related somehow to this one already fixed #105191

I see this as well for both Stable and Insiders when I launch VS Code with no folder. I'm on Windows 10.

[rzhao271]

@artaommahe @gregvanl I can't reproduce this issue on the latest Insiders.

I'm wondering if it still shows up for either of you two after updating?

[artaommahe]

1.50.1 still have this error

PS D:\projects\skyeng\skyeng-frontend\libs\vimbox\blocks> code ..\layout\
[1105/230042.193:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(103)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

Passing to @deepak1556 as that looks like a Chromium log/source file.

[deepak1556]

Yeah this is a log from crashpad component, it can be ignored. Do you see the log when you run with code.cmd wrapper ?

[artaommahe]

what is code.cmd wrapper? regular vs code install, win10, running code with the command above (fisrt vs code window is open via shortcut)

[ninmonkey]

I don't have insiders. In case it isn't fixed here's more info.

ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(103)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

to reproduce

1. right click a folder -> open in VS Code (regular workspaces does not have an issue)
2. run these:

$file = Get-ChildItem .. -File | select-Object -First 1
$file.Name
code $file

# or this
Get-ChildItem $filename | code -

# or this
$file = Get-ChildItem 'foo-bar' 
code $file

# or this
code './foo.json'

Thanks for the screenshot

I was able to repro it same as #109782 (comment), the log is harmless, please ignore it. Is it affecting the behavior for you in anyway ?

[artaommahe]

nope, just strange error in console
