Non-RSYNC way to use REMOTE SYMS.

PowerOn Pro

I do not have WSL and am not able to use REMOTE SYMS. Is this in the works to be updated?

    This is now available through concurrent SFTP transfers (`v1.5.2`) and is also now the default for Remote Syms.

    There are a couple of viable options for this, we're looking into it and expect to have a solution soon.

    The reason we have the WSL dependency is due to us needing our own LSP for PowerOn. Until Microsoft adds support for accessing virtual resources (ref.

    https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/virtual-workspaces#what-about-support-in-the-language-server-protocol-lsp-for-accessing-virtual-resources) the only practical way to deliver a seamless “semi-virtual” experience is to manage remote resources locally by keeping them synchronized via rsync.

    There wasn’t a clean & practical way for us to bundle this dependency with our extension but setting up WSL isn’t too heavy of a lift and gives us the tooling required to interface with a remote host - unavailable natively on Windows. There may be alternatives but we haven’t taken too much initiative to discover them as of yet.
