Does this support WSL? #11

I have DMD and DUB installed in WSL, can i use that in order to make this extension work?

It does not support WSL. Although communication between a WSL process and a Windows process is possible, there is at least one big problem: the difference with filesystems. The editor would send Windows style paths like C:\Users\foo\project, but the language server used by the extension would be a Linux process, and would expect paths like /mnt/c/Users/foo/project. I'll look into this possibility, but it's probably not going to land very soon.

Good news: the VSCode team noticed that lots of people, like you, want to use containers, virtual machines, or WSL as their development platform, and VSCode 1.34 is going to allow you to develop in WSL : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/wsl Even better news : I just tested it using VSCode Insiders, and I can confirm that it seems to be working, so you can use Insiders right now to develop on WSL !
