npm: command not found after vscode update

[jpSimkins]

When running any NPM Script in vscode, I now get this:

Executing task: npm run npm-version 

/usr/bin/bash: line 1: npm: command not found

 *  The terminal process "/usr/bin/bash '-c', 'npm run npm-version'" failed to launch (exit code: 127). 

I can run this fine in vscode terminal:

$ npm run npm-version 

> @pcn/[email protected] npm-version
> npm --version

10.8.2

This worked fine a few weeks ago.

I updated vscode recently and now I cannot use the NPM Scripts.

I have node and npm installed using NVM.

I already tried fully removing node, npm and NVM. I even removed and reinstalled vscode but this issue still persists.

I use this script to install NVM:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash

Then I run:

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

I even ran this as others online said this worked for them (years ago):

nvm alias default v20.17.0

Current version:

node --version
v20.17.0

$ npm --version
10.8.2

Which:

$ which npm
/home/jpsimkins/.nvm/versions/node/v20.17.0/bin/npm

.bashrc contains:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

I even tested moving that snippet to .bash_profile with no change.

Since vscode was updated, NPM Scripts are broken.

I also tried installing older versions since when I run in bash I see this:

/usr/bin/bash npm --version
/home/jpsimkins/.nvm/versions/node/v20.17.0/bin/npm: npm: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `'../lib/cli.js''
/home/jpsimkins/.nvm/versions/node/v20.17.0/bin/npm: npm: line 2: `require('../lib/cli.js')(process)'

I tried v18.20.4:

nvm install v18.20.4
nvm use v18.20.4
nvm alias default v18.20.4

Same issue.

Even v16.20.2:

nvm install v16.20.2
nvm use v16.20.2
nvm alias default v16.20.2

Same issue.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
