Vscode-remote-release: Unable to open project in WSL2 using "Reopen Folder in WSL..." command

[abarani]

• VSCode Version: 1.51.0 (also tested with 1.52.0-insider 24b28f57)
• OS Version: Windows 10 19041.572 with Ubuntu 20.04 under WSL2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open folder under WSL2 file system (using \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04 remote path) using File > Open folder...
2. Use Remote-WSL: Reopen Folder in WSL... command
3. "Unable to read file" error is shown.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes (apart from WSL Remote extension)

This is working correctly with version 1.50.1.

I'm not sure, if it's the same problem but if I try to launch VSCode from the wsl console nothing happens. So I open it up manually Remote-WSL: Reopen/Open Folder in WSL and the VSCode Server crashes immediately.

"VS Code Server for WSL closed unexpectedly."
"WSL Daemon exited with code 0"

Version: 1.51.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042
WSL version: 4.19.104-microsoft-standard Debian

Works with this Version:
Version: 1.50.1 (system setup)

Pushed a fix for Reopen Folder in WSL in 0.51.2 released yesterday. Can you test if that solved your issue?

This is working as expected now, thank you!
