It tries to use remote server instead of my local server

I use remote SSH regularly but there seems to be an issue where this extension is not able to differentiate between the extension installed in my local system and the one in the remote server.

It keeps trying to reach the remote /home/remoteserver/.vscode-server/ instead of my local Windows one when I am not in remote SSH mode.

Nothing works so I am forced to use a remote server even when it’s not needed.

I’ve never experienced this with any other extension (and I use LOTS 😆) where it mixes up like this.

Current Result

Extension Works only in Remote SSH mode

Expected Result

• Should work in remote SSH mode
• Should work in local mode too.

Additional Informations

• I tried uninstalling ALL my extensions and started afresh. Issue still occurs.
• Issue occurs even when a remote session is currently not in progress.

[testforstephen]

In my experiment, if I explicitly override “java.jdt.ls.vmargs” setting in the remote machine’s settings.json, then vscode-lombok extension will update the agent path to the remote settings.json. If not, it will update the global user setting in the local machine. The second case should be same as the problem above.

The reason is vscode-lombok extension uses the VS Code API ConfigurationTarget.Global to specify where the modified setting “java.jdt.ls.vmargs” should be saved. The global setting defaults to your VS Code’s user setting unless the target setting item is overridden explicitly in your remote machine’s settings.json.

Also the API ConfigurationTarget just supports values such as “Global”, “Workspace” and “WorkspaceFolder”. No option for “Machine”. Looks like vscode-lombok extension cannot fix it.

However, there is other way to prevent the setting from being shared across machines. In Java extension, we could change the scope of “java.jdt.ls.vmargs” setting from “window” to “machine” or “machine-overridable”. For the setting with “machine” scope, VS Code will force its global setting to be the settings.json on the runtime machine.

So far, to unblock you @shrinidhi111, you could explicitly specify the setting “java.jdt.ls.vmargs” in the remote machine, then the lombok extension in remote machine won’t touch your local settings.json.
