salesforcedx-vscode: Extension indicates that the CLI is not installed, but only for some commands

Summary

A couple of weeks ago some commands stopped working when run through the editor’s command palette. The ones I can remember to have tested this are the “set default org”, “push” and “pull” and “open default org”. Some other commands, such as “deploy” and “retrieve” still work as expected.

Meanwhile, executing the same command through the integrated terminal works just fine:

Raised after comment on a similar issue (#3582).

Steps To Reproduce:

Unavailable at this time.

Expected result

Commands should execute as usual, as the CLI is installed.

Actual result

Commands mentioned before do not work.

@aggartman Thanks for the follow up. Did you have any node/npm or OS changes that could have resulted in the issue (upgrades)? Mostly just checking in case this shows up for anyone else.

Thanks

No changes, but I did a fresh install and made sure to install the cli through NPM rather than individually. The versions are all the same.

Oh, so that explains why reinstalling my OS worked too then. 🤣

HI @renatoliveira I just tested locally on my Ubuntu box with a fresh install of VSCode and the extensions and things seemed to work as expected for the ‘SFDX: Open Default Org’ so I’m guessing it has something to do with the user or env running VSCode.
Did you start vscode from the app launcher or from the terminal?

Could you try opening it from the terminal where you were able to successfully run sfdx and see if the ‘Open Default Org’ works as expected? Execute code . from the directory where your salesforce project is located. Thanks

This has been happening for one week or so now. VScode is installed through my distro’s package manager, also used for yarn and Node.js. The CLI is installed globally using yarn.
