Integrate with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

[fermuso]

Hi.
I try to integrate vscode-rsync with bash on Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu distro) without Cygwin:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS"

My vscode-rsync configuration:
"sync-rsync.executableShell": "C:\WINDOWS\System32\bash.exe",
"sync-rsync.executable": "/usr/bin/rsync",
"sync-rsync.shell": "/usr/bin/ssh",
"sync-rsync.local": "/mnt/c/Users/<MY_USER>/Documents/<MY_PROJECT>",

The error output:

/usr/bin/rsync -rlptzv --progress --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --delete --exclude=.git --exclude=.gitignore --exclude=.vscode /mnt/c/Users/<MY_USER>/Documents/<MY_PROJECT> remote_user@remote_server:/path/to/remote/
ERROR > spawn /usr/bin/rsync ENOENT

I also try this conf:
"sync-rsync.executable": "bash.exe -c /usr/bin/rsync",

Fail output:

bash.exe -c /usr/bin/rsync -rlptzv --progress --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --delete --exclude=.git --exclude=.gitignore --exclude=.vscode /mnt/c/Users/<MY_USER>/Documents/<MY_PROJECT> remote_user@remote_server:/path/to/remote/
ERROR > spawn bash.exe -c /usr/bin/rsync ENOENT

Is posible this integration?, how?

Managed to get this working with #44 and "sync-rsync.executableShell": "bash".

So what was the solution? I've followed #44, but did not understood.

@nbourre, I use something like this:

"sync-rsync.onSave": true,
"sync-rsync.executable": "rsync",
"sync-rsync.executableShell": "bash",
"sync-rsync.remote": "remote_hostname:/home/idanp/my_code/",
"sync-rsync.local": "/mnt/c/Users/idanp/my_code/",
"sync-rsync.flags": "avhP",
