Describe the bug

When trying to run any of the Go tools from my VSCode "client side" (Linux) on my VSCode "server side" (Windows) all I get are errors command 'go.xxx.yyy' not found (e.g. go.locate.tools).

What I expected was to be able to run the Go tools, regardless of OS-es.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run a VSCode instance on a Windows machine with OpenSSH setup.
2. Connect to the instance from (1) via a VSCode instance running on Linux.
3. Try to run a Go-related command (e.g. Go: Restart Language Server).

I've a hunch that this has something to do with C:\ being interpreted as a relative path, rather than an absolute one, but I can't be certain.

In remote setup, this extension runs on the remote side. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview

Assuming the server side is "windows", the GOPATH configured doesn't seem right to me.

Can you try with the setting without "go.gopath": "/home/<USER>/projects/go"?

That fixed it. Thanks! I thought the settings.json file was only applied on the client-side, but it seems to have been applied on the server as well (I did also have syncing of settings enabled, so I guess I should've seen that one coming).
