Research direction

The failure is the "My Resources" view reporting "There is no data provider registered" when VS Code runs in a WSL remote session, while the same extension works on Windows. Start by reproducing it with VS Code connected to WSL Ubuntu and checking whether the extension activates and registers that view's data provider, using the trace logs the reporter mentions. Done means the view loads its data inside WSL, or the cause is pinned down and documented.

Description

needs attention

Foundry Toolkit 1.6.15, VS Code 1.141.1, WSL Ubuntu-24.04

“My Resources” shows "There is no data provider registered that can provide view data"

The same installation works in Windows.

I have tried reloading the window, reinstalling, rebooting, setting log level for the extension to trace, and using Github Copilot to diagnose, but unable to resolve problem.

Fresh install of WSL, Ubuntu, VS Code and Foundry Toolkit
