Description

I have expanded the quarto RHEL 7 tarball to my home directory, and thought I could just tell VS Code quarto extension to use it from there, rather than change my shell PATH to include this custom quarto path.

So, I have set quarto.path. But when I run say, quarto preview from the VS Code command pallet, I can see the command it sends to the terminal window and it is just:

quarto preview ...

No sign of it using the quarto.path setting I have set.

This is with VS Code Remote, so the Quarto extension is installed on the remote SSH machine (and the setting is changed in the Remote settings.)

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the VS Code extension's handling of the quarto.path setting and reproduce the command-palettte preview flow in a Remote SSH window. Done means the configured path is used when launching quarto preview instead of relying only on PATH.
