Research direction
Reproduce the failure using VSCode Remote SSH with a remote CodeQL database, then investigate the Explorer and CodeQL-result links that open codeql-zip-archive files. Compare remote and local behavior around the reported URI and error. Done means source files open successfully in both the Explorer and linked CodeQL results over SSH.

Description
Describe the bug
When connecting from VSCode (Linux) to a remote Linux server over SSH, it is not possible to view the source files contained in a CodeQL database. This includes browsing the archive in the Explorer, and also following links in CodeQL results. An error such as the following will be shown:
Unable to open 'format_g726.c (read-only)': Unable to read file 'codeql-zip-archive://0-46/home/electricworry/projects/fuzzing/asterisk-db/src.zip/home/electricworry/projects/fuzzing/asterisk/formats/format_g726.c' (TypeError: Cannot read property 'pipes' of undefined).
Version

Platform: linux x64
Version: 1.56.2
Commit: 054a9295330880ed74ceaedda236253b4f39a335
Date: 2021-05-12T16:45:26.313Z
Electron: 12.0.4
Chrome: 89.0.4389.114
Node.js: 14.16.0
V8: 8.9.255.24-electron.0
OS: Linux x64 5.8.0-53-generic
To reproduce
- Install latest vscode from debian repositories (currently 1.56.2).
- Install Remote SSH and CodeQL extensions.
- Connect to a remote Linux host.
- Add a codeql database folder (such as one present on the remote host)
- In the Explorer, expand the database. Files are browsable. But select any file and an error will be thrown.
Expected behavior
The source file should be opened.
Additional context
This works correctly when working locally on both Linux hosts. It's only when working over SSH remotely that I have experienced this.
