When trying to install an extension on remote through VSIX that is available in remote, I get this error notification:
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\home\users\<username>\veriloghdl-1.0.3-f5a19.vsix'

My actual location of VSIX on the remote is /home/users/<username>/veriloghdl-1.0.3-f5a19.vsix
Looks like the path is being recognized as my local machine path.

How are you trying to install it?

[Raamakrishnan]

1. I uploaded the VSIX to remote
2. Connect Remote-SSH to remote
3. Open Extensions panel > Install from VSIX...
4. The new remote file picker flyout opens. Select the VSIX.
5. This error notification shows up.

@Raamakrishnan it would be helpful when you tried to reproduce the same scenario when using VS Code Remote Containers.

This should be fixed in this milestone.

Not fixed for me.

It seems like the problem is it's using the remote file picker by default, and then using the local resulting path. cc @alexr00

My bad, this is not yet supported in remote.
