Ok, I found the exact issue. I debugged a bit and saw that both the target folder and studio path are correct for me. The issue is with the “open” library and specifically this commit for quasar - https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/commit/6b977a836f7d0c9a1279002b065f23ab99b52820

In the file @quasar/app/lib/helpers/open-ide.js

On lines 68-72 it is as follows:

open(folder, {
        app: studioPath,
        wait: false
      })

It should be like this due to breaking changes going from open@7.1.0 to open@8.4.0

open(folder, {
    app: {name: studioPath} ,
    wait: false
  })

The missing part is that app is an object requiring name attribute. That can be either the binary name or the path to the binary. In our case, this would be the ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH

@Teo27 Why not PR it? It helps as we have so much on our plate to handle and we love to see community contributions!

Fix will be available in “@quasar/app” v3.3.3
