Details

This might be less of a bug and more of an issue with my setup. I was using the setup detailed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7na1MuMDRg and it was working up until about a week ago. I tried several different solutions I found for recent issues I found on the internet (reinstalling from scratch, doubling the time for connection timeout, updating Mono to latest, etc and it keeps failing). I was hoping my problem might just be something obvious I’m not seeing. Every time I launch ST I get the error:

“OmniSharp: Error talking to http://localhost:xxxxx/checkreadystatus”

Thanks in advance for your help! Hopefully it’s something simple.

How-To

How do I reproduce this issue?

Same Error! Same output as @kufii when execute omnisharp.cmd. Solution: I found msbuild /version output right not mean omnisharp server can run correctly. Just adding only the filepath of msbuild.exe to PATH can arrive this. With visual studio installed, it provides vcvars64.bat to set environment correctly, but temporary. So I add call vcvars64.bat to the head of omnisharp.cmd then it works. Remember to add the filepath of vcvars64.bat into the PATH! Good luck!
