[Extension Development Host] and using WSL inside of it

[adriancostin6]

Hey guys. I am developing an extension that wraps the C/C++ tools one to provide additional functionality, I will further refer to it as Extension-A for easier reference below.

Whilst fixing a bug that is WSL specific, I am trying to test by starting the extension development host using the default debug configuration and then entering a WSL workspace via the dedicated extension for WSL.

What I am running into is that when I connect to the WSL workspace inside of the extension development host, I seem to lose the debug context I had previously (access to Extension-A commands, settings and so on).

This is a bummer, as I cannot debug my extension. Is this unsuported, or am I obviously doing something wrong?

Configuration for debugging my extension is:

// A launch configuration that compiles the extension and then opens it inside a new window
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
