How to install the extension only on the machine where the workspace is located?

[novumdxw]

I use VSCode to edit Scala files on the remote server.

Installing the VSCode extension scalameta.metals will install extension vscode-scala-syntax on both the local machine and the remote server.

I prefer not to install vscode-scala-syntax locally, because it's only needed on the remote server.

There is a similar issue #46 that might be related.

I found a way: add the following code to VSCode settings.json file.

{
    ...    
    "remote.extensionKind": {
        "scala-lang.scala": "workspace",
    },
    ...
}
