Omnisharp won't load a template .NET 6 project

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

On Windows, I installed the .NET 6 SDK. I already have previous SDK versions installed and VS 2019 installed, but not VS 2022. After installing the .NET 6 SDK, I installed the C# extension into VS Code. I’ve restarted VS Code, restarted the PC. It won’t load the webapi template project properly. Omnisharp insists on using VS 2019’s MSBuild. Tried installing VS 2022 build tools and overriding Omnisharp to use that MSBuild, but still can’t get it to work.

Steps to Reproduce

I dotnet new webapi and opened the new project directory in VS Code. Omnisharp fails to load the project. Potential problems seem to be that it’s trying to build against SDK 5.0.100 rather than 6.0.11 and it’s selecting VS 2019’s MSBuild 16.8.1 (SDK 6’s minimumMSBuildVersion says 6.10.0).

Here's the Onmisharp log:

    Path: c:\Users\myuser\.vscode\extensions\ms-dotnettools.csharp-1.23.17\.omnisharp\1.37.17\OmniSharp.exe

Then, tried adding a global.json into the project:

{
    "sdk": {
        "version": "6.0.100"
    }
}

Omnisharp then fails with this instead

Let’s try adding an omnisharp.json to the project to force it to use the embedded MSBuild 17, in case that helps…

{
    "MsBuild": {
        "MSBuildOverride": {
            "MSBuildPath": "c:\\Users\\myuser\\.vscode\\extensions\\ms-dotnettools.csharp-1.23.17\\.omnisharp\\1.37.17\\.msbuild\\Current\\Bin"
        }
    }
}

Nope:

Let’s install VS 2022 build tools, remove global.json, and remove omnisharp.json. That should work, right? Nope…it’s back to preferring VS 2019 MSBuild again.

My final attempt is to have omnisharp.json force it to use C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin for MSBuild.

{
    "MsBuild": {
        "MSBuildOverride": {

        }
    }
}

That doesn’t work either. I’m getting the same error as initially, but at this point a global.json no longer seems to be necessary because it’s now the same error with or without that.

What is going wrong here? I should mention that dotnet build works fine, so I doubt there is a problem with the actual template project.

All the other Visual Studio and Build Tools you are missing .NET SDK resolvers (see https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn/blob/master/src/OmniSharp.Host/MSBuild/Discovery/Extensions.cs#L143-L147) since they are scored as int.MinValue.

In fact when you set the MSBuild path to VS 2022 manually it complained about missing Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web which indicates missing resolvers.

You should either update those installations and include dotnet SDK tools or you can force OmniSharp to use its bundled MSBuild by setting this in omnisharp.json

{ 
   "msbuild": {  "useBundledOnly": true } 
}
