Unable to create a new Java class

Attempting to create a new Java class in the File Explorer is failing. Nothing happens.

Language Support for Java Extension, v 1.41.1

I have an existing Maven project, and I am attempting to create a new Java class in an existing folder to contain a new test.

Steps

1. Right click the existing package / folder in the src/test part of explorer
2. Select New Java File / Class
3. Enter the name of the class at the top of the page and press Enter

Nothing happens. No file is created.

I did see this output in the Extension Host output, but I don't know if it's relevant or not.

Looks to be happening around https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-dependency/blob/84af4b35654fe0167b0bff1d39cd0ccc3d4b07c6/src/explorerCommands/new.ts#L222 .

Does anything from microsoft/vscode-remote-release#9649 or microsoft/vscode#204178 seeml ike your use-case ?

@rgrunber potentially... this is during a remote session. I will read them, follow suggestions and report back. Thank you for pointing this out!

I guess more specific: VSCode is running locally on a Windows machine, but using a remote session against a Linux machine via ssh.

I don't know if this helps, but where I am using VS Code on Windows 11, remotely connecting to WLS (Ubuntu) I do not get this issue

Perhaps not completely apples and apples comparison (one is using the WSL extension, then other SSL). But a data point.

I actually misspoke. The environment where I am working with a remote connection is working fine. The environment where I am seeing this error is a native Ubuntu environment. No remote sessions involved. I'll still have a look into the workarounds being described, though. Apologies for any confusion
