hello-world-web-sample doesn't load if developing in WSL

[cristian-spiescu]

Extension sample

hello-world-web-sample

VS Code version

1.87.0

What went wrong?

🙂: I checked out hello-world-web-sample in Windows, opened in VS Code and launched it. A new VS Code opens, and the extension works (i.e. I see the Hello world command in the command bar).

😢: I checked it out in WSL. I launch it from VS Code + WSL => A new VS Code opens (in Windows), but it doesn't load the extension.

Using npm run run-in-browser works.

Thanks in advance.

Does somebody have an idea? I'm wondering if:

• it's something wrong on my side?
• this is a general issue? I.e. developing web extensions + WSL = no go
• if so, is this a regression, or this was always the case (and will be?)

We don't support developing web extensions in a remote extension host:
