Cannot use preview with WSL for Windows #49

I tried just about everything thinking it was a problem with the extension.

Many different versions of openscad.launchPath
Installing the Ubuntu version of OpenSCAD in my WSL instance
Opening the files in different ways
etc...

Ultimately, I just installed everything (like even git) on the Windows side and cloned my repo and set openscad.launchPath to the default value and it just worked. Great extension, but it would be even better if it were compatible with WSL2.

This is strange. The extension ideally would work with WSL2, so I am not quite sure what is happening.

What version of the extension are you running? If it is 1.2.1, does downgrading to 1.1 help? Also, was VS Code running in WSL2 or native Windows?
