vscode Predefined variables doesn't work in sftp.json

[osumko]

Do you read the FAQ?

• [x] Yes.

Describe the bug sftp.json file doesn't properly converts vscode predefined variables and uses as it looks instead of converting it to corresponding values.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open workspace folder.
2. Run command 'SFTP: Config'.
3. Set "remotePath" with one of vscode's predefined variables, for ex.: "remotePath": /out/${workspaceFolderBasename}.
4. Run 'SFTP: Sync Local -> Remote'.

Expected behavior I expected to get synced files in /out/my-workspace-folder-name/, but files get synced in /out/${workspaceFolderBasename} instead.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: OS X 10.11.6
• VSCode Version 1.32.3
• Extension Version 1.11.1

Oh wow, so this doesn't work?! I have been trying all sorts of variables and I thought I was doing it wrong.

Has this never been implemented?

Is there any plan on implementing this??
