Here is the problem. I want to use the VSCode terminal command code test.txt to create the file test.txt and open it in VSCode.

This works perfectly fine on Linux(Both EL9 and CentOS7) and my old Intel chip X86 MacBook.

However, on my new MacBook, which is an apple silicon M1pro version, it went wrong. If the file already exists, the command code existedfile could open the existedfile in VSCode. If not, the command code test.txt would return The file test.txt does not exist.

So what could I do to permanently fix this issue? I don’t want to touch newfile and then code newfile every time I encounter similar situation.

I tried the instructions from the Internet: install code command in PATH and reopen the terminal. This doesn’t work.
