C# Dev kit completely broken. Nothing works.

[wgrs]

Type: Bug

Refactoring completely broken along with intellisense. Testing doesnt work. In fact Im not sure anything is actually working on this ext. Wasted hours reinstalling countless times.

This extension is completely useless. This was supposed to fix all the omniCode stuff but its even worse than that tool. Its crippling vscode. Its a now a constant battle doing even basic things in vscode.

Zero refactoring, zero intellisense and zero testing.

Extension version: 1.1.16
VS Code version: Code 1.85.0 (af28b32d7e553898b2a91af498b1fb666fdebe0c, 2023-12-06T22:27:05.695Z)

@wgrs Is it possible for you to provide more information about your workspace that you have open? What types of projects (looks like maybe Unity?), what, if any, log messages are emitted in the output window for "C#" and "C# Dev Kit" categories?

This would better help us make this actionable.

This is completely standard .net 8 webapi on Ubuntu 23.04. Its been broken for months. I have reinstalled everything even the OS. I opened other tickets on the vscode issues page giving the reason I though the cause was. That ticker was closed. Since then others have added the errors too. I was amazed it was just closed and no action taken.

Yep that's not expected and not common. Can you share the output log stream if anything there?

How do I get the output logs?

[timheuer]

Apologies, when you open a workspace that is not working, grab whatever output is here (pls ensure scrub any sensitive paths):

[wgrs]

Ok, for starters, I added a standard xunit test project and ran dotnet test.

Testhost process for source(s) '/home/xxx/Dev/Projects/xxx/tests/bin/Debug/net8.0/tests.dll' exited with error: The specified runtimeconfig.json [/usr/lib/dotnet/sdk/8.0.100/testhost-8.0.runtimeconfig.json] does not exist
. Please check the diagnostic logs for more information.

Test Run Aborted.

The nugets for dotnet new xunit are very old so I updated them to the latest versions but the same error persists.

[timheuer]

Thanks Greg. You mentioned you ran dotnet test I assume from a terminal. If so, this tells me you are having more fundamental issues rather than anything related to this extension (yet at least).

Can you run dotnet --info and put the output here?

Ok thanks.

Was there any output in the C#/C# Dev Kit output logs?
Do you even see a Solution Explorer panel being created shown when you open a workspace with the web app?
If you use just the terminal and dotnet run does it build/run?

[wgrs]

I reinstalled the Dev kit again. I had to uninstall it earlier and over the previous weeks because it was breaking refactoring, intellisense etc. As things would have it, go to definition is now working, intellisense seems to be working as well. No errors shown in workspace. All the dotnet commands work as expected. But I need to get tests working now. The Solution explorer is fine, although I have had to delete a mysterious sln object that randomly gets dropped into one of my projects. That would obviously cause issues but as of yesterday, even after I removed the rogue sln, intellisense, refactoring and testing were broken.

[timheuer]

Progress! Just FYI if you are experiencing dotnet command failures, that's more problematic and disconnected from Dev Kit...so if dotnet test is still failing, that's not the extension, that's something else. It will, of course, AFFECT the experience in the extension but we want to root those out separately. Can you confirm that dotnet test is still failing?

Regarding the SLN file that gets created, that's now a config option in the extension you can uncheck:

[timheuer]

Ok, correct it is not anything to do with VSCode or extensions, this is the runtime. /cc @AbhitejJohn @peterwald any ideas? At this point we should move this to dotnet/sdk?
