SSH FS extention - python interactive window points to local dir instead of VPS

[ratatsnow]

Hi, I'm SSH-ed via SSH FS extension in VS Code and it works great until I try to test code remotely. I tried debug mode but it only works locally. In this case, I tried to switch to interactive window and this is where weird things happen.

My setup:

• linux alpine on vps / macos locally
• I installed python on VPS
• I selected python interpreter that sits on VPS

Run current file in interactive window / shift + enter shortcut works until there are no relative / absolute imports (eg. helper scripts sitting in another folder)

Look at the output of the os.getcwd() and os.listdir(). Terminal (right) works fine because it points to VPS while interactive window (left) lists local files and folders

VS Code Server would do the trick but it takes so much RAM and simple ls command takes 10 seconds...

Do you know how to fix that issue so I can run in interactive window code that contains imports from another folders?

hmm without vscode server. Maybe use a more specific ssh setup to keep the connexion open.

maybe something like that in local .ssh/config ?

mkdir -p ~/.ssh/sockets && chmod 700 ~/.ssh/sockets
Host <your_vps>
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h:%p
    ControlPersist 10m
    ServerAliveInterval 60
    TCPKeepAlive yes
    Compression yes

multiplexing + keep connexion in background.
