IntelliSense doesn't seem to be working with SSHFS filesystem type in Windows 10 (no import errors detected and no squiggly lines). I know this is a fringe case, but I'm wondering if there is an easy fix.

IntelliSense works fine for this example in the local filesystem as well as on an exfat formatted flash drive.


Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install winsshfs and mount a remote file system
  2. Open the a project locally from that mounted file system
nlogn_properties helloworld_vscode

Reproduces without extensions: No (Need the C++ extension for intellisense)

Research direction

Reproduce on Windows 10 using winsshfs, the C++ extension, and the reported mounted project, then compare IntelliSense with local and exFAT filesystems. Investigate the extension's filesystem handling; done means imports and squiggles work on the SSHFS mount without regressing the working cases.
