nrf Connect SDK Issues with west.yml workspaces in VS Code

Question

I am trying to add s2opc to my project. But everytime i try to open the complete Workspace in VSCode, the nrf Connect extension, just does nothing. How to reproduce. Take the blinky example, make it a git repo, create a west.yml file looking like this: manifest:
 remotes:
 - name: ncs
 url-base: https://github.com/nrfconnect

projects:
 - name: nrf
 remote: ncs
 repo-path: sdk-nrf
 revision: v2.7.0
 import: true

- name: s2opc
 groups:
 - s2opc
 path: deps/modules/lib/s2opc
 revision: master
 url: git@gitlab.com:systerel/S2OPC.git

self:
 path: app
 Now do a west init -m <git clone url> West update, west zephyr export, pip install all the required requirements etc... If i now open the app folder or the overarching folder containing the nrf sdk and zephyr, the VSCode extension just spins indefinetly. Sometimes it works, by just opening the app folder, but then it still fails to compile, something that is easily reproducable on the command line.

Finally got it working. Using the following approach. Stop using the WSL. 
 Using Windows normally for setting everything up now i can get it to a workable state, and finally start debugging the s2opc example code.

Hi donpavlov, 
 It could be that your initial environment does not have SSH access to GitLab. To confirm, try ssh -T git@gitlab.com and refer to this Stack Overflow discussion: timeout - gitlab.com SSH connection timed out - Stack Overflow 
 If you replace the URL with the HTTPS one, it should work.
