vscode-csharp: Omnisharp can't find .NET SDK when open any C sharp project

Whenever I open any C sharp project no matter via VS code icon or terminal, it shows such error It was not possible to find any .NET SDKs. I am pretty sure I have SDK installed Screen Shot 2020-09-03 at 5 55 42 PM

I have tried to follow the wiki . Reinstall C sharp extension, reinstall SDK, reboot computer, export the /usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet in ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, ~/.zshrc. None of them work.

Sometimes the Visual Studio warning will still persist even after installing the .NET SDK. This is because a link/shortcut/alias needs to be created between the .NET executable install location and the Visual Studio path.

The executable was most likely installed in /usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet. A symbolic link needs to be created to usr/local/bin for Visual Studio.

To create that link assuming the locations above use this in the Terminal:

$ ln -s /usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet /usr/local/bin/

For Ubuntu & Snap use this instead:

$ sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/

I have the 5.0.103 [/snap/dotnet-sdk/112/sdk] installed (as shown, using snap) on KDE neon (based on Ubuntu 20.04). sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet and restart Visual Studio Code. worked for me.

I managed to resolve this by uninstalling dotnet via brew, breaking down and going to the website and just downloading and running that installer. Basically brew is somehow installing differently and its not properly tested by the omnisharp crew.

I saw something interesting in this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/83155

Someone commented that launching VSCode from the terminal can solve the PATH issue. I tried in my machine (macOS 10.15.6):

Open iTerm (or Terminal)
Switch the path to the root of your C# project
Execute code . (make sure that you’ve added VSCode to PATH before)

Then I can run Omnisharp without issue.

To verify my guess, I’ve created added the following task in task.json:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Show me the PATH",
            "command": "echo $PATH",
            "type": "shell",
            "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
        }
    ]
}

When I launched the app by clicking the app icon in your computer, and then run the task, I got this:

> Executing task: echo $PATH <

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

But I launched the app using code ., I got this:

> Executing task: echo $PATH <

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/share/dotnet:~/.dotnet/tools:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands:/Applications/Xamarin Workbooks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/path-bin

Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

your path may not be the same as mine but the key is it does contains /usr/local/share/dotnet and that’s the key.

$ sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/

I tried this and unfortuantly still have the same issue. I see the link in the usr/local/bin and if i click it is runs dotnet. But if i run vscode i still get the same issue. my only way to resolve this problem at the moment is to open vscode using terminal

This doesn’t appear to be a duplicate of microsoft/vscode#107169 , simply setting the sdk path into the $PATH variable doesn’t fix it.
