JsonSourceGenerator cannot be created in VS2019 preview

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Updated to dotnet 6 sdk rc1 ( 6.0.100-rc.1.21458.32). Now VS (16.11.3 Preview 1.0) fails with:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error	CS8032	An instance of analyzer System.Text.Json.SourceGeneration.JsonSourceGenerator cannot be created from
C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.NETCore.App.Ref\6.0.0-rc.1.21451.13\analyzers\dotnet\cs\System.Text.Json.SourceGeneration.dll : 
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified..	Verify (netstandard2.0)	C:\Code\VerifyTests\Verify\src\Verify\CSC	1	Active

Does not occur when running dotnet build from the command line

It is also strange since i do not directly reference the System.Text.Json nuget.

To Reproduce

I am able to reproduce by building this https://github.com/VerifyTests/Verify/tree/WithGenFailure

As mentioned in #20987, in order to target net6.0 you need to use VS 2022. Using VS 2019 is not supported.

One reason it is not supported is because the version of the compiler you get in VS 2019 is the version of Roslyn that shipped with .NET 5.0 - Roslyn version 3.11. That is why you are seeing that error:

An instance of analyzer System.Text.Json.SourceGeneration.JsonSourceGenerator cannot be created from C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.NETCore.App.Ref\6.0.0-rc.1.21451.13\analyzers\dotnet\cs\System.Text.Json.SourceGeneration.dll : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The source generators that ship with net6.0 depend on Roslyn 4.0. Trying to load them in VS 2019 doesn’t work.

There are other features in net6.0 that won’t work in VS 2019 as well - for example workloads, new language features like global usings, file-scoped namespaces, new interpolated string features, etc.
