I installed VS Code and run the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH as per documentation (and as found in this answer)

At first it was working, but after a reboot (I suppose) I couldn't get code started from a terminal (which is pretty useful).

This is the error I get:

LSGetApplicationForInfo() failed with error -10814 while trying to determine the application with bundle identifier com.microsoft.VSCodeInsiders.

Not sure if helpful: if I type which code I get /usr/local/bin/code.

One possible solution for this is to do the following:

  1. Open the terminal
  2. Find the path of the OS X app that you're having this problem with
  3. Run the following command: mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -r <app-path>

The bundle name that's returned by this will be the actual name of the bundle (which com.microsoft.VSCodeInsiders is not.)

You can then open the application by typing open -b <bundle-name> with whichever args afterwards.

Hints:
- Your <app-path> might contain spaces, in which case you should surround it with " (quotes). - The <app-path> is the path to the directory that ends in .app -- the path of the "icon" you see in the finder for the application. In the terminal, the name of the folder will end with .app.

The solution above from marco worked, so to make it more friendly, I've added to my ~/.aliases 

alias code='open -b com.microsoft.VSCode'

Then, again I can code . and open the vscode in my current path.
