For anyone encountered the same problem, I found a temporary solution.

Add omnisharp.json in your project folder with:

{
  "MsBuild": {
    "MsBuildSDKsPath": "/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/2.2.103/Sdks",
    "UseLegacySdkResolver": true
  }
}

Where .../sdk/[version]/... the version part in MsBuildSDKsPath should point to the version you desire.

Hope it works for you.

[mickaelistria]

Seems like a duplicate of #1416.

[ambs]

I tried updating to latest roslyn release, and use the suggestion above for omnisharp.json. While it no longer complains about not finding the sdk, vscode complains about everything, from using System to a simple void.

Here I am running Linux Mint, and dotnet 2.1.602. Happy to help with the debug.

[sharkAndshark]

@afterwind-io it works :)

[ambs]

dot net update to 2.1.603, still same problem.

[egel]

Today I stumble upon the same error. Installing the dotnet through the official mac installer solve the problem for me. Using SDK v3.1.4.

[MicahArmantrout]

I am having the same issue this morning I updated to 8.10.5(build 16) dot net 5.0.7

[baruchiro]

I had the same problem, and in my project, the .sln (and all the rest projects) are in a sub folder.

When I opened the VSCode on that sub-folder, it works.

[arham-anees]

@afterwind-io Your answer is still working but has you figured out the permanent solution for this? it may create conflict everytime code is sync on two different mac machines.
