mantid launch script opens in the editor on launch

[MialLewis]

System: OSX
Install: Conda
Version: release-next nightly (manual testing)

When a conda install of mantid is launched using workbench or mantidworkbench from the terminal, a script of the same name is opened in the editor.

The script contains:

#!/bin/bash /Users/wym92549/mambaforge/envs/mantid_612_test/bin/pythonw

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from workbench.app.mantidworkbench_launch_wrapper import launch

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(launch())

To Reproduce

1. Install release-next nightly using conda
2. launch workbench using either workbench or mantidworkbench
3. observe script open in the editor

@cailafinn or @SilkeSchomann, could you see if you can replicate this on OSX?

Does this occur in v6.11?

Does this occur in v6.11?

I will have a look. I'm just installing Mantid 6.11 on MacOS to look for other regressions.

Yes, I can see the same. It does not happen for Mantid 6.11. It was most likely introduced by this PR: #37750

On Windows the following is printed in the terminal after launching:
script "C:\Users\dsc49661\AppData\Local\mambaforge\envs\manual_test_6_12\Scripts\workbench" does not exist
