你是不是复制的windows的vscode，导致每次都尝试启动wsl?

没有特别操作过。我本地的 vscode，cursor等，都没有这个问题。 Trae 是最后装的

[gagmeng]

我windows下也报这个错误

i guess this issue is about WSL not working.... so here´s my info to that:

It seems that WSL is not supported yet

[michabbb]

funny: releasing a windows version and ignoring WSL - respect....🙈

Its not the first. Most VSCode new wrappers doesnt have this support. Barely a handful have it. I hope they comment here and support it anytime soon.

[saeedblanchette]

up we need support

[Sampwood]

是不是安装了 Remote - SSH 插件。我卸载这个插件后，没有这个报错了

[michabbb]

what has ssh to do with WSL ? answer: absolutely nothing

Yes and no

Thanks to @Sampwood idea, I've found a workaround that for now, works pretty well

First install an SSH server in your WSL machine.

Then install such extension that he comments:

ATM It has a minor bug, so I recommend checking this issue:
jeanp413/open-remote-ssh#195 (comment)

And then connect to the WSL2 SSH server using your WSL2 IP and credentials.

I've not gone much deeper, but I think that the extension can be configured adding some credentials, so the integration could be seamless as if we were using the VSCode WSL original extension.

Still I hope they add some WSL2 support by default.

EDIT:
I've have discovered now, that using this other extension:

You can connect using the command palette to WSL straight without having to configure any SSH credentials
(Still the bug I comment above must be solved for this to work using my settings.json workaround)

The only difference is that instead of adding remote.SSH.serverDownloadUrlTemplate when using the WSL extension we must add remote.WSL.serverDownloadUrlTemplate

For now its pretty sweet for me to start playing with Trae and WSL2 (because I hate to work on the Windows machine)
