Problem with remote development using cmake on Visual Studio Professional, version 17.4.2

Question

I have been using Visual Studio for remote development on an external Linux box using ssh. This has worked great until I did the latest update of VS to 17.4.2, I have verified using the connection manager that the connection is still valid but now I get the following error when I start up that project:

Answer 1

Any updates about this issue, is it fixed in the latest 17.5.1?

Answer 2

I've updated to latest of Visual Studio 17.6.2, the issue is no more reproducible.
