Launching VS Code from AML puts users in an unexpected directory/path

[rukiafarraj]

Expected Behavior

Launching edit in VS Code from AzureML, I expect to find myself in the same directory/path that I'm in when in AzureML.

Actual Behavior

Currently, launching in VS Code puts you two directories above where you are in AzureML. This is confusing for users. It also doesn't appear to be consistent with launching Jupyter/Jupyterlab from AML.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. In an Azure Machine Learning workspace, with compute instance running

2. Navigate to Notebooks

3. Launch a terminal in AML, and note current working directory
   

4. In the global toolbars, click "Edit in VS Code"

5. Once in VS Code, launch terminal and notice working directory (2 directories above where you expect to be)
   

6. For comparison, launch Jupyter and Jupyterlab, and notice working directory

Thanks for filing Rukia! I've added this to our current iteration plan to investigate and determine a fix.
