Summary
"command": "wsl"to invoke WSL binariesBackground
The current README section (lines 313-325) suggests using
"command": "wsl"for "VS Code running inside WSL environment", but this is misleading and causes the exact ENOENT error described in the issue. Thewslcommand is a Windows-side launcher that's not available inside the WSL environment when using the Remote-WSL extension.Related Issues
