Copilot cannot create create new files and modify existing files in the WSL when Using WSL2.

[jiazhuguanhua]

When using WSL2 + VSCode. The copilot cannot create files(still tell me file created, but in fact, the file created in Windows dir, "D:\home\leaf\RTK_GCS(the same dir where the Agent want to create in WSL2, not in Windows)")

HOW TO FIX: Add the code below to "

"
"remote.extensionKind": { "GitHub.copilot": ["workspace"], "GitHub.copilot-chat": ["workspace"] }

Just like showed in the image(value: "ui" -> "workspace"):

Afterall, it may contribute obstacles to beginners, and it should not happen, hoping this "bug" to fixed early!

Hi @jiazhuguanhua ,

I didn't notice such behavior yet, as every time I used GitHub Copilot Chat on WSL, it always seems to create and modify the files in the correct location.

Either way, if you have a replicable scenario to share, I would suggest you to open an issue in the VS Code repo (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues), which is the correct channel to report errors on VS Code, in order to the VS Code team to take a look and fix it.

This discussion forum is intended for extension development only, for now.

Hope this helps
