over Remote SSH / when coming to "Executing task: func host start" Function host does not actually start

In a reproducible clean setup of an Azure VM like this which I use to VS Code Remote SSH develop on from my Windows machine.

1. I installed these extensions:

code --install-extension ms-dotnettools.csharp
code --install-extension ms-azuretools.vscode-azurefunctions
code --install-extension Azurite.azurite
code --install-extension Trottero.dotnetwatchattach

1. did a from scratch project creation (dotnet non-isolated, C#, HttpTrigger) with func init and func new

2. initialized the project with Azure Functions: Initialize Project for Use with VS Code…

3. started Azurite Blob Service

4. then started debugging with Attach to .NET Functions

the “func host start” does not actually start and drops into the shell

after a while pickProcess pops up with

Failed to detect running Functions host within "180" seconds. You may want to adjust the "azureFunctions.pickProcessTimeout" setting.

submitting a func host start right from the shell where it dropped off connects the debugger

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 22.04 and hence decided to try it with another Linux distro.

Does anyone have any ideas or indications where I can look into?

@nturinski thanks for the hint - you are right, it seems to be a general issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7458

Hi @KaiWalter

Thank you for the very detailed issue and investigation.

Since it sounds like this may be an issue with the Remote extension, would you mind posting the issue on this repo as well?
