Gitlens' "Open File in Remote" or "Copy Remote File URL" generates the wrong link

[dushan-terzikj-grammarly]

Hello all,

I am using Gitlens on VSCode on Mac and I am a noob with VSCode. When I use "Open File in Remote" or "Copy Remote File URL", I get the following URL (this is an example):

"https://ssh.my.gitlab-server.com/..."

While this is not incorrect as I cloned the repo via SSH, I cannot open this link I have to remove the ssh. part. This is not a blocker but it is quite annoying. How can I make Gitlens generate the correct link?

Correct link: "https://my.gitlab-server.com/..."

I tried adding gitlens.remote in settings as such:

"gitlens.remotes": [
    {
      "domain": "my.gitlab-server.com",
      "type": "GitLab",
      "protocol": "https",
      "urls": {
        "repository": "https://my.gitlab-server.com/${repo}",
        "branches": "https://my.gitlab-server.com/${repo}/branches",
        "branch": "https://my.gitlab-server.com/${repo}/commits/${branch}",
        "commit": "https://my.gitlab-server.com/${repo}/commit/${id}",
        "file": "https://my.gitlab-server.com/${repo}?path=${file}${line}",
        "fileInBranch": "https://my.gitlab-server.com/${repo}/blob/${branch}/${file}${line}",
        "fileInCommit": "https://my.gitlab-server.com/${repo}/blob/${id}/${file}${line}",
        "fileLine": "#L${line}",
        "fileRange": "#L${start}-L${end}"
      }
    }
  ]

This does not fix the issue.

Thank you in advance!

@dushan-terzikj-grammarly I know this might seem simplistic but I would encourage you to review the gitlens.remote file make sure that they are no typos within your file. And Restart VScode as the changes will not take effect if you don't restart the kernel.

@Charlesnorris509 I have already tried that and unfortunately it does not work 😞

@dushan-terzikj-grammarly could you give me more information about the issue like posting the error code please?

[dushan-terzikj-grammarly]

Maybe there was a misunderstanding. There is no error code. The behavior of "Copy Remote File URL" or "Open File on Remote" is working as expected except for the fact that the URL generated with those commands is wrong.

The URL generated is https://ssh.my.gitlab-server.com/<rest-of-the-path> when it should be https://my.gitlab-server.com/<rest-of-the-path> (without ssh.).

Current behavior:

1. Click on right click -> Copy Remote File URL"
2. Paste URL --> https://ssh.my.gitlab-server.com/<rest-of-the-path>

Expected behavior:

1. Click on right click -> Copy Remote File URL"
2. Paste URL --> https://my.gitlab-server.com/<rest-of-the-path>
