vscode: [v1.31] Markdown preview not working on Arch Linux

Description:

The markdown extension doesn’t seem to work anymore on the Arch (Linux) version. This only happens in version 1.31

Whenever it is called a command 'markdown.[command]' not found message shows up. The extension is properly installed however and is loaded correctly.

I’ve also tried to make a clean install, removing all user files, settings and extensions, but the problem persisted.

Additional info:

Version: 1.31.0

Node.js: 8.9.3
V8: 6.1.534.41
OS: Linux x64 4.20.6-arch1-1-ARCH

Steps to reproduce:

Simply open a markdown file and try opening the preview, either via keyboard shortcuts or the preview button on the upper right.

Done, it seems to be a regexp error.
