• VSCode Version: Version 1.3.0-insider (1.3.0-insider) d0c2b89
• OS Version: OSX 10.11.5

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VSCode insider from Finder (not from terminal)
2. Try to run build task (that is using tsc -w)
3. I'm using nvm so proper PATH needs to be set eg . ~/.nvm/...

This is similar to #7343 or even identical. Commit 1a7c54e does not fix this issue for me.

When I start VSCode from Finder and open devtools then process.env.PATH == "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin". When I start VSCode from terminal then it has my proper process.env.PATH == "/Users/wallverb/.nvm/versions/node/v4.2.2/bin:/opt/local/bin:.........."

When I run this code in devtools:

const electron = "/Applications/Visual Studio Code - Insiders.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron";
const cp = require('child_process');
const env = Object.assign({}, process.env, {
    ATOM_SHELL_INTERNAL_RUN_AS_NODE: '1',
    ELECTRON_NO_ATTACH_CONSOLE: '1'
});
const command = `'${electron}' -p 'JSON.stringify(process.env)'`;
const result = cp.spawnSync(process.env.SHELL, ['-ilc', command], {
    detached: true,
    stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', process.stderr],
    env,
    encoding: 'utf8'
});
console.log(result.stdout.match(/"PATH":"(.*?)"/)[1])

// const strip = s => s.replace(/[\u001b\u009b][[()#;?]*(?:[0-9]{1,4}(?:;[0-9]{0,4})*)?[0-9A-ORZcf-nqry=><]/g, '').replace(/\u001b\].*?\u0007/g, '');
//console.log(JSON.parse(result.stdout));  // would throw parse error

Then proper path is returned : "/Users/wallverb/.nvm/versions/node/v4.2.2/bin:/opt/local/bin:.........."

but the problem is that my interactive shell returns some "intro message" (eg. zsh -ilc env will return INTRO_MESSAGE\nwalverb which will of course break JSON.parse() in above code. I wonder why is 1.2.0 working fine and it's only problem with 1.3.0-insider
