VS Code Insiders Remote WSL - Permission denied: '.aws-sam'

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

Problem

Using Remote WSL in VS Code Insiders, AWS Toolkit errors when running Lambda debug configurations. This was working fine a couple days ago, but is now failing, and I’m not sure what changed. It works fine in non-Insiders VS Code, and I’m able to invoke the function via SAM CLI just fine.

I’ve tried uninstalling/re-installing both the AWS Toolkit and WSL Remote extensions, but the error persists.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Use sam init to create a sample Serverless Application from the hello world template using nodejs 16.x and Zip package type.
Add a debug configuration using the CodeLens from app.js or template.yaml.
Run the new debug configuration.
See in output: “Error: NodejsNpmBuilder:CopyDependencies - [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘.aws-sam’”

Expected behavior

Debug configuration should not error.
