Paulo, I’m going to close this for now because the original issue sounds like it’s solved. Feel free to file issues if you come across problems. We’re definitely interested in whatever can help make the extension better. Thanks!

@DustinCampbell,

I created a solution on Visual Studio 2017 RC with a class library project and a XUnit unit test project.

Then I opened it in VSCode (after installing the latest beta of OmniSharp - 1.6.0-beta6).

Then I pressed Ctrl+Shift+B to build and it prompted me to configure the task runner and I chose MSBUILD.

The solution is here, if you want to take a look at it.
