Description
Terminal path suggestions were incorrectly resolving against the local filesystem when connected via Remote SSH. Typing
cd /in a Linux remote terminal would suggest Windows host directories (/Program Files/,/Windows/) instead of remote directories.The issue occurred because path resolution used
URI.file(), which always creates localfile://URIs, ignoring the remote scheme in the terminal'scwdURI (e.g.,vscode-remote://ssh-remote+hostname/path).Changes
Changed all path resolution to use
cwd.with({ path })instead ofURI.file(), preserving the URI scheme and authority:/foonow resolves with remote scheme whencwdis remote~/now resolves to remote home directoryAdded test coverage for remote SSH URI schemes in both absolute and tilde path scenarios.
