Description
Type: LanguageService
Describe the bug
- OS and Version: Win10 Pro
- VS Code Version: 1.30.1
- C/C++ Extension Version: 0.20.1
- Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): SSH FS, Python
- Code Outline does not show anything at all for C++ files open on remote filesystem using SSH protocol (
ssh://prefix)
To Reproduce
- Connect to remote filesystem using SSH protocol (e.g. using kelvin.vscode-sshfs extension)
- Open any C++ file
- Outline panel shows text "There are no editors open that can provide outline information"
Expected behavior
Outline view should show symbols from currently open C++ file
Additional context
I opened an issue against VSCode originally but they claim it's an extension issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/65752

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening a C++ file through an SSH FS connection and checking the Outline panel. Start by tracing how the extension handles outline requests for documents using an ssh:// URI; done means symbols from the open C++ file appear in the Outline view.
