Failed to start the MSBuild language server. #74

henrik-jensen · 2021-02-14T01:26:40Z

I think it was after upgrading to vscode 1.53.2 this started, but honestly I'm not certain.

System info:

msbuild-project-tools-vscode version: v0.3.13
VSCode version: 1.53.2
OS version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.804]

MSBuild Project Tools output:

Starting MSBuild language service...

What happens if you run dotnet --info in your workspace directory? Can you post the output?

henrik-jensen · 2021-02-14T01:45:25Z

Woah, thx for the fast reply :-)

dotnet --info in workspace directory:

Ah. Ok, I wasn't aware that the SDK version was using SemVer. Thanks, that will be relatively easy to fix.

If you need to get going right away, you can use global.json to lock your SDK to the latest stable version of the .NET SDK.

Good to know, but it's ok right now. I'll just wait to use/edit MSBuild projects until it's fixed and just use VS2019 if absolutely needed.

And thanks a bunch for this extension. 🥇

msbuild-project-tools-0.3.14.vsix.zip

When you have time, can you try uninstalling the extension and installing it from this VISX package? I think this should fix the problem but I don't any preview versions of the SDK installed at the moment to test with :)

I'll give it a go and report back.

MSBuild Project Tools output after install of msbuild-project-tools-0.3.14.vsix:

Starting MSBuild language service...
MSBuild language service is running.

👍 👍 👍
Succes

Edit: Sorry, I don't have time right now to do a more extensive test but I'll load som msbuild projects up later and test them out.

tintoy · 2021-02-14T02:38:49Z

Thanks - will publish the new version soon :)

henrik-jensen · 2021-02-14T02:51:09Z

I wondered a bit about the preview of dotnet sdk but of course I'm on the preview channel of VS 2019:

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Preview
Version 16.9.0 Preview 2.0

I'll soon update to VS2019 16.9.0 Preview 4.0 and report back (though I'll guess it'll work just fine).
If there are any specific test you would like me to do with regard to your msbuild-project-tools-vscode extension and the VS2019 preview dotnet, please let me know, and I'll find some time to do them later.

henrik-jensen · 2021-02-18T13:05:48Z

Updated to VS2019 16.9.0 Preview 4.0 with load succes.

Starting MSBuild language service...
MSBuild language service is running.

... but loading a csproj did give me this in MSBuild Project Tools:

Don't know if it was also present in VS2019 16.9.0 Preview 2.0, but it seems to be unrelated and did successfully load the project according to the log.
Should I close this issue Failed to start the MSBuild language server, and start a new one this or is it to trivial?

tintoy · 2021-02-18T20:35:10Z

Ouch that seems like a silly bug (NREs usually are 🙂). Can you leave this one open and I’ll take a look later this morning?

Thanks for the detailed report!

henrik-jensen · 2021-02-22T01:58:23Z

I'll leave it open.
Happy coding.

tintoy · 2021-02-23T23:16:25Z

Published v0.3.15 🙂

henrik-jensen · 2021-02-24T19:19:13Z

Thanks @tintoy
Great work.
FYI: v0.3.15 even works with the latest VS2019 16.9.0 Preview 5.0, just released. (VS2019 Preview is a fast moving target at the moment, it seems)

tintoy · 2021-02-24T19:57:00Z

Glad to hear it! 😃

I’ve generally found MSBuild to be a fast-moving target in the .NET Core world, so it’s good to hear that the solution we’ve chosen seems to be working 👍
