Error running command msg.addConnection

[smares]

Installed the extension in a Devcontainer and if I try to add a connection, all I get is an error:

Error running command msg.addConnection: command 'msg.addConnection' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes msg.addConnection.

Getting the same issue on a remote vscode session

[ilnytskyi]

same error with WSL

[ydliou]

Is this extension supporting working remotely?

The same error happens on WSL2. I tested the extension on the Windows 11 host and couldn't reproduce there.
I did follow the getting started guide

Problem is when using the extension in Dev Container. I tried this override but it did not help:

"settings": {
	"remote.extensionKind": {
		"Oracle.mysql-shell-for-vs-code": "ui"
	}
}

The same problem occurs when using remote Ubuntu.

same issue here but seems to be fixed after update to version 1.19.20

It's working now on WSL2

I still get the error on 1.19.20 on macOS (running a devcontainer)
