Terminal error: Node.js environment variables are disabled

Question

Starting today I receive the following error in my terminal (iTerm2, zsh shell, MacOS Sonoma) when I run some commands, for example when opening VSCode with the code . command:

[0201/192142.001386:ERROR:node_main.cc(135)] Node.js environment variables are disabled because this process is invoked by other apps.

I have no idea when it started or how, nothing was changed as far as I can recall, and I cannot find information about that particular error code.

The command actually opens VSCode, but I get the error/warning every time.

Answer 1

It looks like it is an issue, I can see the report on Github: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/204005

Answer 2

I encountered the same issue because I wasn't logged-in into Heroku CLI. Solved it with heroku login in the CLI and confirming in browser.
