LaTeX-Workshop: "View documentation" link on \usepackage{...} hover doesn't work with Snap version of VSCode

Preliminary questions [Required]

Disable all the other extensions except for LaTeX Workshop, and check that you still see this issue. [Required]

You still see this issue?: Yes

Make sure to visit the wiki FAQ before filling an issue.

You visited the wiki?: Yes, texdoc is in path. I’ve tried with the full path and it doesn’t work either. BTW, texdoc works without issues from terminal.

Describe the bug [Required]

Hover a \usepackage{…} and click on “view documentation”, or run “LaTex Workshop: Show package documentation” or “LaTex Workshop: Show package documentation actually used”. None of them works,

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Hover a \usepackage{…}
2. Click on “view documentation”
3. You don’t get any outcome

Or:

1. Run “LaTex Workshop: Show package documentation actually used”
2. Select one of the packages
3. You don’t get any outcome

Or:

1. Run “LaTex Workshop: Show package documentation”
2. Write a package name
3. You don’t get any outcome

Expected behavior

A PDF with the docs should open. I’ve tested with packages which all have docs, and running texdoc from CLI works as expected. The similar functionality in Emacs also works.
