Launching gnome-terminal from vscode

  • 772

Since updating to latest ubuntu and vscode, I can't launch gnome-terminal from vscode.

If I try launch gnome-terminal in vscode's terminal or via an extension then I get:

Error creating terminal: Failed to get screen from object path /org/gnome/Terminal/screen/some-uuid-here

Ubuntu 19.04
GNOME Shell 3.32.1
GNOME Terminal 3.32.1
VSCode 1.34.0

gnome-terminal visual-studio-code

    I just faced the same issue and now found a workarround. You can launch the terminal by unsetting the GNOME_TERMINAL_SCREEN environment variable.

    To launch gnome-terminal from vscode:

    > GNOME_TERMINAL_SCREEN="" gnome-terminal
