[FEATURE] - Support remote location in automatic detection

[vladmandic]

Project manager works with remote projects just fine when manually added, but cannot automatically detect them when adding scan location (either WSL or SSH):

This does nothing:

    "projectManager.git.baseFolders": [
        "vscode-remote://ssh-remote+wyse/home/vlado/dev",
        "vscode-remote://wsl+Ubuntu/home/vlado/dev"
    ],

But manually adding projects works fine:

[
	{
		"name": "Project: PiProxy",
		"rootPath": "vscode-remote://ssh-remote+wyse/home/vlado/dev/piproxy",
		"paths": [],
		"group": "",
		"enabled": true
	}
]

Hi @vladmandic ,

This has been requested a few weeks ago in #409, but as you can see, it was closed basically because of VS Code limitations. When connected to remotes, you are connected to some location instead of the computer itself, and the extension won't be able to detect Git repos.

You could take a look at the Remote Extensions repo/docs, and maybe the settings that I suggested on #409 could work for your scenario somehow. Unfortunately for the other user, it didn't.

Hope this helps

Sorry for the duplicate, somehow I missed it.
In my case, dev system is static and it was easy to create script that adds all projects for me - seemed easier than tweaking VSCode.

Hope VSCode enables this workflow out-of-the-box in the future.

No problem 👍

I think this could happen in the near future. VS Code team is eager to make Remote works the best way possible. I'm subscribed to that issue, and I suggest you to upvote/subscribe it too. When it is released, we will be notified.

Stay tuned
