Support for using Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) SAM executable

[georgematthew]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. PyCharm now supports using a WSL Python interpreter and WSL terminal. To complete the WSL development experience, I attempted to set the AWS Toolkit to use the SAM CLI executable from WSL under Settings -> Tools -> AWS -> SAM CLI executable: \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\user\.local\bin\sam However, I am not able to save this configuration with the error: "Cannot Save Settings: Invalid sam executable: \wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\user.local\bin\sam"

Describe the solution you'd like Support for using the SAM CLI executable in WSL for building, invoking locally, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered The AWS Toolkit for VS Code in combination with Visual Studio Code Remote - WSL allows for using a SAM CLI executable in the remote development environment. I find the debugging tools and local Lambda invocation functionality to be much more mature in the AWS Toolkit for JetBrains and would prefer to use PyCharm over VS Code.

Hmm.. sounds like the command line abstraction we use from the IntelliJ SDK does not handle WSL out of the box. Will need to be researched

[abrooksv]

Looks like we would need to enhance our ExecutableManager to be WSL aware and call https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/193/platform/platform-impl/src/com/intellij/execution/wsl/WSLDistribution.java#L179 to patch the CommandLine after we produce it.

I didn't have any path in the SAM executable setting when running AWS Toolkit in Intellij from WSL, and the file people seem to be using here doesn't exist. Would love to be able to use this tool

It's unbelievable how this issue is left out in the cold. I, among many growing users that uses WSL on Windows. pray you AWS cool lads fix this asap

3 years on and this hasn't even been assigned. Can we get a progress update or an explanation of why this has been ignored/abandoned?
