Note that uic.exe is located in ...\Lib\site-packages\PySide6 NOT in ...\Lib\site-packages\PySide6\bin in fact ...\Lib\site-packages\PySide6\bin does not exist.
Please change the path designer is using to locate uic

You don't need to run
Lib\site-packages\PySide6\designer.exe, you need to executepyside6-designeron the command line.Never execute anything you have inside
Lib\site-packages\PySide6\that is not an example. That's why we providepyside6-uic/rcc/designer/assistant/... -
@CristianMaureira Indeed pyside6-designer.exe instead of Designer.exe must be used, thanks for pointing that out. However pyside6-designer.exe has exactly the same problem as Designer.exe. pyside6-designer.exe also looks in the non-existing bin folder.

I'm sorry I thought your problem was mainly not being able to find the pyside6-designer.
I think the View Python code (and C++) code is a bug. Can you open a bug report for the 'designer' component under the QTBUG project?Out of curiosity, what's the use-case for viewing the Python code from designer?
Ideally, pyside developers create their interface with designer, generate a .ui file, then runpyside6-uic file.ui -o ui_file.pyso they can later import it from their main code.

Sorry for digging out this post but I've just installed PySide6 and had similar problem with pyside6-designer launched from command line. I have temporary fixed it by making a link to venv\Lib\site-packages\PySide6\ inside that folder called bin.
mklink /D "bin" "c:\******\******\*******\venv\Lib\site-packages\PySide6"
