vscode-csharp: Could not find document for file, Omnisharp not working
Issue Description
I recently started a new Unity project, and for the first few days of me working on it, the C# extension had no issues. However, a few days after, all Omnisharp functions stopped working, like reference counters and autocomplete. I checked the logs and found that any time I was typing something, this was showing up:
[info]: OmniSharp.Roslyn.CSharp.Services.Completion.CompletionService
Could not find document for file e:\Games\UnityProjects\Protista\Assets\Scripts\Board.cs
I’ve tried restarting the server via the command palette multiple times and it hasn’t worked.
I tried looking online for solutions and came across this: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/4181#issuecomment-742668376 so I set the path to latest in my settings, which is why I have the beta. (Having the beta didn’t fix it and it didn’t work before I had the beta too.) I also saw this in the changelog on the extension store:
For Mono-based development (e.g. Unity) that requires full .NET framework, you need to set “omnisharp.useGlobalMono”: “always”. The current value of “auto” will remain “never” until Mono upgrades their bundled MSBuild version.
So I tried setting the "useGlobalMono" to "always", but that didn’t work either. I’ve asked some people on Reddit for help, but nothing worked there either. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, also to no avail.
Note: for the most part I am new to development in C#, and this may be a stupid question, but is there supposed to be a .csproj or .sln file somewhere in the directory created by Unity, because I can’t find any, and that may be the problem, but I’ve tried and I can’t find anything about it.
Steps to Reproduce
Unknown, Omnisharp was working fine one day then stopped working the next day without any warning.
Expected Behavior
When typing, suggestions that are related to my variables and methods show up, red underlining when there is a syntax error, reference counters, go to definition would do something, etc.
Actual Behavior
None of the above show up, I get no red lines from syntax errors, no reference counters, go to definition does nothing, and the only suggestions I get when typing is based on words that have already appeared in my script.

yeah but now it picks up the correct MSBuild which is good
so what you need to do now, is follow the link in the error and install .NET 4.7.1 developer pack (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net471-developer-pack-offline-installer)
oh, I did not notice that you are on Windows. Then Mono has no effect.
You need to install VS 2019 Build Tools https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=16 or VS 2019 https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=16
Then Omnisharp will pick up the MSBuild that comes with that.
I resolved this issue in Unity by downloading Unity’s VSCode Package via the package manager and then regenerating the .csproj fles from Unity’s External Tools menu: (https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ide.vscode@1.2/manual/index.html)
@gputhread hi, it’s not installing the visual studio editor in your computer. It’s installing the necessary dev tools. You can use vscode if you want to.
@Diegoav87 use Unity hub and make sure to check this box when installing
