Zowe Explorer 3.1.1 has problems reading files in VSCode installed by snap package

[la-costa]

Describe the bug

When I try to read a member, only an error message is displayed. When I try to rename, an error message is displayed with more information.

Error running command zowe.ds.renameDataSetMember: Expect Error: Required object must be defined. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes zowe.ds.renameDataSetMember.

Through web access, I can perform the operations, so it does not seem like a user profile problem.

To Reproduce

Screencast.from.2025-03-05.10-26-26.mp4

Expected behavior

I suggest that the extension test its writing capability and, if it fails, inform the user of a settings variable to indicate a temporary save location.

Desktop:

• Ubuntu 24.04
• node 18.18.0
• VSCode 1.97.2 (snap package)
• Zowe Explorer 3.1.1
• IBM Z Open Editor 5.2.0

Additional context

The Zowe extension is trying to write to a location that it doesn't have permission to write to, since it's a snap package.

Zowe Explorer works perfect with VSCode installed by zip package.
