"Unable to start MSBuild language server"

[lszulc]

Hello,

After I launch the Visual Code env. I can see a warning in the lower right corner.

I don't know were to search for any clues regarding this issue.

The drop-down in your screenshot that says “C#” should also contain one or more items named “MSBuild”. Usually the error details can be found in one of those output panes.

Hi - sorry for the delay, just saw this message.

I’ll take a look when I get home from work and get back to you 🙂

BTW, are you using GitHub codespace?

[tintoy]

@geniuskamo and can you post the output of dotnet --info?

Yes I am, is it some sort of settings sync issue ?

If I understand it correctly, code spaces is VS Code on your local machine and the rest of the dev environment remotely on a VM they provide?

I don’t think we support VS Code Remote scenarios yet (extension is probably trying to run language server locally and not in VM). I’ll have a look into it this weekend and see if I can figure out what’s involved in supporting remote scenarios…

Thanks for reporting! This work is now being tracked in #99.
