We have tried the scenarios like

• Uninstalling and Re-installing the C# version in VS Code Extensions
• changing the C# version in VS Code Extensions
• Restarting the VS Code

But getting the same exception for us too. Please give us a fix to this issue!

I landed here by searching for possible solutions to the main problem “Omnisharp Json Rpc exception” occuring in VS Code. I tried everything possibly written here but could not get the resolution. I spent complete day in hope to resolve this and finally could do it. Here are the steps that helped me:

-prerequisites:

• Azure Functions Core Tools

• PowerShell Extension for VS Code -> (or extension of your choice of language)

• PowerShell Core 7 (Atleast I had this version installed on my machine)

• There are two main files that are required to be checked after you have all prerequisites installed.

1. launch.json
2. tasks.json

• configure launch.json { “name”: “Attach to PowerShell Functions”, “type”: “PowerShell”, “request”: “attach”, “customPipeName”: “AzureFunctionsPSWorker”, “runspaceId”: 1, “processId”: “${command:azureFunctions.pickProcess}”, “preLaunchTask”: “func start” //This should match with next tasks.json label }

• configure tasks.json

{ “label”: “func start”, “type”: “shell”, “command”: “func start”, “problemMatcher”: “$func-powershell-watch”, “isBackground”: true }

Hope it helps for someone facing the same problem.
