Try run "Remote-SSH" extension in "Code - OSS" fails

[jackpunt]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: ??

Replaced by bug-on-extension

• VS Code Version: 1.71.2
• OS Version: macOS-12.6

Steps to Reproduce:

1. clone and build vscode, producing Code-OSS
2. Running vscode-oss, install extension "Remote-SSH"
3. try connect to remote host; provoking extension to install remote-server
4. connect to remote works, scp works, but
5. installing remote-server fails

Connecting/installing from 'stock' vscode works.

My goal is to test/debug to see how my fork interacts with Remote-SSH.
I notice that the extension creates a new window... is that a new instance of vscode?
Is there a way to run the stock vscode but have it create the new/ssh instance running vscode-oss ?

Or: is there a document that explains the how the SSH extension works? What the remote-server does?
[something easier that reverse-engineering from the source code...]

Or: For my current question: what is the URI that is used in the TextEditorModel ?
Is it a simple file://path/file.ext that is interpreted by the remote-server?
or is it like: ssh://host/path/file.ext.ssh ?

Unfortunately this isn't really supported. Since Remote-SSH depends on some non-oss components, you can only run it with official full builds of vscode.

If you want to test vscode changes with remote, what you should be able to do is use the "TestResolver" in your code-oss window which creates a fake remote window.
