There's something about the VS Code environment that requires you to log out of your user and log back into your computer for the path to be picked up.

This will need to be fixed by contributing to the vs code environment immediately

For anyone getting this same issue on a linux distro (specifically for me, omarchy/arch style), you can provide the additional required path.

Note

I'm not a linux expert. This is just what I did to workaround the issue.

you can edit ~/.config/uwsm/env and add to the path just below the other path statements.

#Adding Aspire Path
export PATH="$HOME/.aspire/bin:$PATH"

This will require logout/reboot to take affect. Other linux distros might work another way.

You can verify that its in the path using

tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/"$(pidof code | awk '{print $1}')"/environ | grep '^PATH='

and you should see /home/<user>/.aspire/bin

@PaulDevenney are you saying that the install script itself doesn't add the aspire cli bin directory to the path for you? When run in any terminal?

If so, you are describing a separate issue and we should file another for tracking, as it corresponds to a different area.
