[Linux Editor] External editor arguments field is missing for Visual Studio Code

Linux

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Visual Studio Code for Ubuntu (https://code.visualstudio.com/download)
2. Create an empty project in Unity
3. Set Visual Studio code as the default editor under Edit->Preferences->External Editors
4. Notice that the field for External Script Editor Arguments does not appear

Note: It is stated in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity that "Unity has built-in support for opening scripts in Visual Studio Code as an external script editor on Windows and macOS. Unity will detect when Visual Studio Code is selected as an external script editor and pass the correct arguments to it when opening scripts from Unity", however it does not on Linux and users are not allowed to enter the correct arguments themselves.

Reproduced on: 2017.3.0b1, 2017.3.0f1, 2017.3.0p2

  1. Resolution Note:

    Appears to be working well with VSCode in the latest 19.1. Missing args in settings window is by design.

    Hey Guys, using Unity 2018.2.7f1 on Ubuntu 18.04.

    Seems that if you select the monodevelop binary from /usr/bin/ it removes that ability for you to add the file arg.

    However I just selected Atom as my default editor and the file args field has re appeared...

    So short/long term solution is to use VSCode or Atom instead of MonoDevelop as the default editor of C# scripts.
