Yes, I know there are a lot of questions on this topic but I have tried everything but VSCode still doesn't open in macOS.

I am using VSCode version - 1.91.0 (x64)

This is what code --verbose prints out:

  • I have also tried deleting and reinstalling vscode
  • Rebooting my laptop multiple times
  • Tried ps aux | grep Code.app to kill any running instances of vscode.

  • Try deleting that directory mentioned in the first line too. Could be a bad data file, or plugin too (if this used to work and then stopped).

  • The issue is not with the project since it used to open before, also I tried opening other projects as well but the issue is that VSCode itself won't launch

  • I meant the folder listed below, from your error message. This is part of VS Code’s data, not your project. /Users/nikhildoshi/Library/Application Support/Code/User

  • Ohh okay, I see, but is it safe to delete the entire User folder? because there are many setting and json and xml, and etc files in those folders

  • Then rename to folder or move it to your desktop. If the app does work after that, you can quit, move a file back, try the app, and repeat until you find the offending file. But, removing local data like this is like getting a fresh install of the app. Look for other VSCode folders/files too. Or create a new acct on your Mac and try the app there, which will also be like a fresh install.
