Bug Description
The Vscode snap doesn't exist (not under this name). However, "snap install" won't tell you so, and it will instead encourage one to jump through multiple hoops until it surrenders that secret. :p

I had already reported[1] this at the Snapcraft forum but I think it might be better at Launchpad.
