vscode "This setting can only be applied in user settings in local window or in remote settings in remote window." error

Question

I want to do unity c# scripting with vscode but,

error :

"[fail]: OmniSharp.MSBuild.ProjectLoader This project targets .NET version that requires reference assemblies that do not ship with OmniSharp out of the box (e.g. .NET Framework). The most common solution is to make sure Mono is installed on your machine (https://mono-project.com/download/) and that OmniSharp is started with that Mono installation (e.g. "omnisharp.useGlobalMono":"always" in C# Extension for VS Code)."

occurred and I saw someone say to

add "omnisharp.useGlobalMono":"always""

but I can't even add that option. It says :

This setting can only be applied in user settings in local window or in remote settings in the remote window.

Answer 1

You could perhaps check out the following issue at GitHub, here.

It is for another vscode plugin (Maven) but explains fairly well how to change the setting for a local window.

Sometimes editing .vscode/settings.json does not work. Some settings need to be in User settings.

In Mac OS you cmd + shift + p then go to Preferences: User Settings. From there you could probably edit the desired setting.

Hope this helps somehow.
