Does not work on WSL 2.0 remote (Ubuntu)

Have to use this plug-in locally.

I'm experiencing this issue as well. When you run "Toggle Real-time Counter Visibility", do you also see a message at the bottom of the window saying "VSCodeCounter:Unsupported"?

No, I don't. I just see ‘VScodeCounter preparing...’

Hello, I have made several things in order to solve the issue:

• I have saved the VSCodeCounter configuration using VSCodeCounter: Save the collected language configurations.
• I have closed the WSL remote connection and then, connected again.
• I have toggled VSCodeCounter: Toggle Real-time Counter visibility . The message is always VSCodeCounter: Unsupported when dealing with Javascript files. However, it works with other languaje files, like json.
• The VSCodeCounter extension is installed in WSL instead of local.

My VSCodeCounter config in settings.json for using Javascript files is:

"javascript": {
      "aliases": [],
      "filenames": [],
      "extensions": [],
      "lineComments": [],
      "blockComments": [
        [
          "{/*",
          "*/}"
        ]
      ],
      "blockStrings": [
        [
          "`",
          "`"
        ]
      ],
      "lineStrings": []
    },

It is not still working for Javascript files and I do not know what I am doing wrong with my configuration.

VSCodeCounter analyzes code based on information from other language extensions installed in the environment. If you run it on a WSL, it will only respond to those language extensions that are installed on the WSL.

If you want to use a language extension that is installed locally but not on WSL, you need to extract the necessary information from the local language extension and bring it to the WSL environment. The mechanism for this is "Save the collected language configurations."

You can run this in your local environment and bring the information you have created to the WSL environment to support it. Again, look at the following instructions and try different ways to make it work. https://github.com/uctakeoff/vscode-counter?tab=readme-ov-file#save-language-configurations
