Test Remote Development and GitHub Codespaces Support #36

Open ReeceHumphreys opened 9 months ago

ReeceHumphreys commented 9 months ago

We need to perform some testing (and probably bug fixing) for remote development and Codespace support. The Visual Studio Code documentation has an article which talks about potential pitfalls for extensions when running remotely.

The VS Code APIs are designed to automatically run on the correct machine (either local or remote) when called from both UI or Workspace Extensions. However, if your extension uses APIs not provided by VS Code — such using Node APIs or running shell scripts — it may not work properly when run remotely. We recommend that you test that all features of your extension work properly in both local and remote workspaces.

I believe we would fall into the "such using Node APIs or running shell scripts" case as we do launch the server process from the client via Node.js APIs.
