VSCode not auto discovered for file opener preference in Windows 10

[diminutivesloop]

Current behavior

When changing the File Opener Preference from the test runner GUI on my Windows 10 machine I must manually specify the path to the executable for VSCode.

Desired behavior

VSCode should be auto discovered and listed as an option. I believe this is because Cypress expects the VSCode executable to be named code.exe as defined in env-editors.ts. However on my Windows 10 machine the VSCode cli command is installed as code with no .exe extension.

U:\>where code
C:\Users\npalmer\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code
C:\Users\npalmer\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd

U:\>where code.exe
INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

I don't recall having modified this so I assume this is the same for other VSCode users on Windows 10.

Versions

Cypress 6.4.0
VSCode 1.53.2 (user setup)
Windows 10 (18363.1256)

Yes, I can see this on my Windows machine also. I just installed VS Code to the default folder and it is not found by Cypress by default.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#16355, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

Released in 7.3.0.
