Visual Studio Code – Histfile in integrated terminal not the same as normal terminal

I just lost my terminal history in VS Code. I noticed it when trying to do a reverse search in the Integrated Terminal (CTRL+R).

To debug, I ran this command:

echo $HISTFILE

This gives me:

/var/folders/ky/ltbvkg9s1239m5c9bccj5xtc0000gn/T/johndoe-code-zsh/.zsh_history

I would expect the normal path of my ZSH history is shown instead, like I get in iTerm2 when running the same command.

/Users/johndoe/.zsh_history

    I fixed the problem by just adding this two lines at the bottom of my ~/.zshrc file.

    export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

    Try turning off the shell integration that’s enabled by default ("terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled") and then restart the terminal.

    I believe this is a bug with VSCode’s ZSH shell integration, that has already been resolved on the Insiders version.

    Here is the offending line (note the HISTFILE without $):

    Code diff

    I’ve seen it merged into the release/1.74 branch so hopefully, a v1.74.1 is not too far away. In the meanwhile, you can switch to Insiders (side-by-side installation) or turn off shell integration as suggested in the other answer.
