Auto update isn't working in VSCode: Could not create temporary directory: Permission denied

Question

From certain point I started getting this error from time to time(I suppose it fires when editor tries to check for updates), and manual/auto update doesn't work. The only way I can update the editor is re-download the app and replace it manually.

Does someone face same issue and successfully resolved?

Try to type the following commands in a terminal:

cd ~/Library/Caches

sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff *
