With the same value for Uri, openTextDocument fails to have any discernible effect yet executeCommand successfully opens the document.



vscode.workspace.openTextDocument(uri);
vscode.commands.executeCommand("vscode.open", uri);


Are there any known problems with vscode.workspace.openTextDocument?

          This might simply be a misunderstanding of what openTextDocument() does. It just creates a vscode.TextDocument instance, actually showing it in the UI is independent of that. That's why it's in the vscode.workspace namespace rather than vscode.window.



          vscode.window.showTextDocument is used for actually showing a document:




          Show the given document in a text editor. A column can be provided
          to control where the editor is being shown. Might change the active editor.




          vscode.workspace.openTextDocument(...).then(
          document => vscode.window.showTextDocument(document));
