Thanks for your patience.

Hey @JBudny, I can repo this issue on my side, but I think it should not be an issue in extension.

I have done some tests:

1. Add sample js file and add npm script in package.json to execute it
2. Create launch settings to run file via npm

Result:

1. Using code command in terminal to open vscode can execute script without error
2. If using context menu or application launcher open vscode, npm command cannot be found

I think you can use code command to open your vscode and I will report this to vscode team for investigation.

Hey @JBudny , thanks for reaching us.
Could you please try to use RN native command npx react-native run-android to see if it can open your emulator successfully?

Hello, both npx react-native run-android and node_modules/.bin/react-native run-android --no-packager work fine for me. They successfully open the emulator and run the app without any problems, whether I open the project directory in Visual Studio Code through the context menu or the terminal. I also utilize the DiemasMichiels.emulate extension to open emulators and it works fine as well.

OK, got it. Thanks for the info. Let me summarize the scenario. You are using Command Palette to run emulator in Linux as below. Emulator cannot be found. If I'm misunderstanding anything, please correct me.

BTW, only open project from context menu has this issue? Could you please try to run emulator -list-avds manually in your local terminal to see if it works?

I will look into this and any update will comment here.

Thank you for summarizing, you are correct for the most part. I just wanted to mention one small correction.

You are using Command Palette

that's right

BTW, only open project from context menu has this issue?

exactly

Emulator cannot be found

You are almost there. It's not the emulator that cannot be found, but the emulator command as this error from the output channel says:

Stack: Error: An error occurred while starting the Android emulator (error code 305): Error while executing command 'emulator -list-avds': Command failed: emulator -list-avds
/bin/sh: line 1: emulator: command not found

Could you please try to run emulator -list-avds manually in your local terminal to see if it works?

Sure. It recognizes the command and returns a list of emulators properly on both Zsh and Bash shells. I have tested it in both the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code opened from the context menu, as well as in a separate terminal.

Thank you for addressing this issue. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions

Hey. Thanks for spending your time on this issue, I appreciate it! I can live with the workaround using the code command, it's not a major issue for me. But I wanted to mention this, just in case someone else is going through the same thing and because I just happened to find this correlation by chance. I am closing this issue as I saw you already reported it on the vscode repository.

Once again, thank you for your help!
