Referencing a package with X.Y.* version in .csproj results in Omnisharp not loading.

[hazardsy]

Issue Description

Referencing a package with a "starred" version (i.e. : 12.0.*) in the .csproj file results in Omnisharp failing to load.
A colleague of mine had the same issues on another project in another environment (Windows 10) and we fixed it in the same way by replacing the * by an actual version.
All of this was done in .Net projects, I could not test it in another framework.

Steps to Reproduce

• dotnet new console test
• Open project.csproj file
• Add <ItemGroup> <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.*" /> </ItemGroup>
• Reload Omnisharp

Expected Behavior

Omnisharp normally loading and being functioning.

Actual Behavior

Omnisharp is not available anywhere in the project.

Thanks for reporting the problem. There is a new build since yesterday that should fix this. Could you try setting "omnisharp.path": "1.32.19-beta.25" in your VS Code settings and confirm? This will download the new OmniSharp from the master branch. Thanks.

[hazardsy]

I seems to be working as intended.
Thank you for the quick response and fix !

[chipironcin]

The fix "omnisharp.path": "1.32.19-beta.25" did download this exact version but still doesn't work for me. Not even after a window reload or extension reload or project reload.

No error logs in the Omnisharp Logs window.
Installing a previous version of the "C#" extension (1.18.0) worked.

[filipw]

the build mentioned here specifically addresses the problem with wildcards in project file - if you did not have them in the first place, then you are likely affected by some other problem.

Could you please share your OmniSharp log? Even if there are no errors there it will contain some useful info.

[chipironcin]

You are right @filipw
Sorry for the confusion!
Lets track that one at #2996 (comment)
Forget about my last comment!

[duduferreira]

@filipw thanks for your advice.
Changing (for me, INCLUDING) "omnisharp.path": "1.32.19-beta.25" on setting.json solved the problem!

Closing as resolved.
