Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Create a new generated project.
2. Attempt to launch it in the Editor. Observe that it opens in Visual Studio Code as expected
3. Enter in a different prompt and hit Generate to create it.
4. Launch that new project.

Expected result

The new project opens in Visual Studio Code

Actual result

Visual Studio Code tries to open a new blank file with the timestamp of the project created in step 1. The project generated in step 4 is present on the system (and the user can access it by navigating to the parent directory of that blank file). But the feature code is retaining a stale project path somewhere.
