Cannot find dotnet path

[Dreamoochy]

I have a portable VSCodium (1.82) and portable dotnet sdk (7.0.400). VSCodium is launched via custom cmd-file where DOTNET_ROOT environment variable is set.

In the VSCodium settings there're the following lines:

  "dotnetAcquisitionExtension.existingDotnetPath": [
      {
        "extensionId": "muhammad-sammy.csharp",
        "path": "${env:DOTNET_ROOT}/dotnet.exe"
      }
  ],

When I launch VSCodum, I get an error:

Failed to find dotnet info from path, falling back to acquire runtime via ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime
Could not find extension target platform in %vscodium_path%\data\extensions\muhammad-sammy.csharp-2.0.436\.vsixmanifest

    at s (%vscodium_path%\data\extensions\muhammad-sammy.csharp-2.0.436\dist\extension.js:2:1127327)

I can't remember such a behaviour with the previous versions 1.2x. But I'm not sure it's a free-omnisharp issue.

Similar issue, I have a coder-server with dotnet (tried both with 6 and 7) installed, and when I try to install the c# extension it installs and when attempted to load a .cs file it says Failed to find dotnet info from path, falling back to acquire runtime via ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime Could not find extension target platform in...

I had the same issue but solved it by manually putting the path in the extension config, hope it helps

get sdk path

dotnet --list-sdks

Extensions> C# configuration:

Thanks, it works. Partially.

1. It works with the direct paths only, it doesn't recognize paths with environment variables like ${env:DOTNET_ROOT} (or I don't know how to use it properly). And I need it to keep the portability (on MS Windows).
2. It ends up with the "undefined" is not valid json issue.

I'm having issues ith this as well . I'm interested how you made it portable on a USB flashdrive?

To be honest, it's not really portable. Basically it's just able to run from a USB. I've created start.cmd file which sets some session environment variables (dotnet, powershell etc) and adds them to PATH.
