Unreal Editor 4 on Linux doesn't open VSCode

I set up in Editor Preferences to use Visual Studio Code. But still, when I Right-click on any objects and click Open header.h, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

OS: Arch Linux x64
Unreal Engine 4.18.1
Visual Studio Code 1.18.1

Hi xDShot,

Could you please check if you are able to launch VSCode from the terminal via the command code or via /usr/bin/code directly. If not then you will need to add the directory location of VSCode to your PATH env var.

If you sill have issues, I can check into this further.

Turns out, the binary name is code-oss on my system for Visual Studio Code. I tried creating symlink from /usr/bin/code-oss to code in my PATH directory. The editor now starts from terminal, but still not from unreal editor, unfortunately.

I’m having a slightly different experience: VSCode is on the path so UE4 launches VSCode but does not open the intended file. Instead it opens a new file with the project name.
