The extension checks if it runs in VSCode/VSCode insiders/VSCodium by checking the name of its binary. This is not a reliable way to detect the Code branding used.
For example, in my case,
process.execPathis just/usr/lib/electron11/electron.Furthermore, the editor is launched with
/usr/bin/code, which is a symlink to/usr/bin/code-oss.A better way would to check this would be to test
vscode.env.appNameforCode - OSSorVSCodium, etc..Related: #42 #12
