Type: Bug
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch VS Code (insider's edition) inside a WSL (it should say "WSL: name" at the bottom left
- Click on "Open in Agents" button on the left of "Customize Layout..." button
- It launches a new Agents window with correct repo name
- Ask it to do something, it throws an error:
The path '\\wsl.localhost\path\to\repo' does not exist on this computer.
I actually managed to make it work by SSHing to my WSL through the Agents window. But that doesn't seem to be a proper solution. It would be great if this Agents window works seemlessly with repos inside WSL, just like the native Copilot chat.
