I'd love to have PhpStorm reading the symlinks but I understand that refactoring the complete full PhpStorm architecture "just because another vendor has a bug" is probably not a possibility while doing P9 file server work mainly as a samba file server (see the xrefs above) seems much more "feasible".

I also faced this and asked here and saw there's a bug already open in the WSL repo here ĪFAIK the reason by which VsCode "seems" to be understanding the symlinks is because it's not "fully running" on the windows side, but it seems to be a client-server structure and in the windows side have only a "frontend" connected to a "remote core" which is natively running in the WSL2 linux, so, the "VsCode" itself "is seeing" the linux symlinks because it really runs on the linux side and only "sends" the info to the frontend. Just open `\\wsl$` from the explorer, or from a CMD or gitbash or whatever and you'll see all the symlinks failing.

Someone reported this as a bug to the Ubuntu forums as well. My Windows XP clients can correctly follow the symlink (it points to a directory), but when I mount that SAMBA share to my linux laptop using CIFS, my linux client sees that symlink as a file. You can check that it is not that "PhpStorm" cannot open the symlinks but that "nobody" (even "VsCode" -see later-) nobody from the windows side can open the symlinks. A SAMBA share setup up on a linux server contains symlinks.

This is a bug of the WSL2 subsystem, particularly in the P9 file server.

I believe that with the change of Microsoft's direction to support Windows as a development platform, WSL2 should be natively integrated in Jetbrains products so that it can provide an equivalent development experience between Linux and Windows on an overall great product.įeel free to sugget any solutions to the symlink problem! Is there a way to fix this, or if not, is it an issue that is going to be tackled soon? VSCode works out of the box with WSL2 integration and symlinks etc.

Everything works fine with the Run/Debug configuration since it is natively using WSL, but in the project files IDEA cannot understand symlink to folders. The problem is that the project contains symlinks. I have also switched the terminal to use wsl.exe so that I can have direct access to any Linux functionality I am used to having while developing on Linux. I am running some NodeJS projects on WSL2 with WSL Node interpreter and they work fine. (Incidentally I was inspired to try this on Ubuntu because it was a fairly simple matter to set this up on Windows box, which also has six hard drives, so that I only have to mount a single samba share and can access all 6 drives from my Ubuntu boxes.After all the storm with WSL2! in (Windows 10 2004) I decided to give development on Windows an other chance. It doesn't seem to me that user permissions could be the issue, since I can cd into those drives just fine via the samba shares that I set up for each individual drive, and I'm using the same credentials.Īny ideas? I'd rather not try to make these 13 drives into an LVM if it can be helped to achieve the objective, as I don't want a single drive failure to blow up the whole thing. Whenever I try to add any combination of "use extensions = no", "wide links = yes" or "allow insecure wide links = yes" to my smb.confs, it not only doesn't help with the new share I'm trying to create but all the existing single-drive mounted shares disappear as well.

The host is a Mac and I can see the symbolic link but I get permission denied if trying to access it. Everything is working fine except for following symbolic links. I have a Virtual machine running Ubuntu server 14.04 and I've set up some smb shares.

I have added "follow symlinks = yes" to smb.conf, but that doesn't help. How to follow symbolic link with smb share. The problem is that when I try to set this up, I can see the symlinked shared folder that exists on a hard drive on Server 1 by doing ls -lt in my new SambaMount shared folder on Server 2, but if I try to cd into that symlink directory, I get "permission denied", even as root. Then I could just mount SambaMount on Server 2 and only have to deal with a single shared folder that would greatly simplify my /etc/fstab and it'd be easier to monitor and set consistent security settings for. So Server 1 would have a folder called SambaMount, and in it would be 13 symbolic links, each to the shared folder on each drive. But I was hoping that instead I could mount (via fstab) a single shared folder, and in that folder create symbolic links to each of the 13 drives. Currently each drive is mounted as a separate share, and this works. I currently have a couple of Ubuntu servers that each contain 13 hard drives that I need to make accessible to each other over a samba network.
