C# - No intellisense in VS 2019 for Mac

[mik...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am developing an application using GRPC in .NET Core 3 (Preview) and it is very difficult to develop the service implementations because I have no intellisense. The using statements are not resolving either. I have verified Grpc.Tools is generating the source code in /obj/debug and the application does compile fine, but the IDE is not including these generated files are part of its source files.

My csproj item group looks like this:

<ItemGroup>

<PackageReference Include="Grpc.AspNetCore.Server" Version="0.1.21-pre1" />

<PackageReference Include="Google.Protobuf" Version="3.8.0" />

<Protobuf Include="Grpc\Protos\*.proto" GrpcServices="Server" />

<Content Include="@(Protobuf)" LinkBase="" />

<PackageReference Include="Grpc.Tools" Version="1.22.0" PrivateAssets="All" />

</ItemGroup>

I have the same issue with all the demo applications I've downloaded, and even the GRPC Template. I am wondering if it's an issue with just the Mac version of VS 2019 or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I had a similar problem (VS Code intellisense not working when using .NET Core 3 preview). I think it boils down to the omnisharp's .NET core version being different to the .NET core version of your project. Feel free to post the solution if you resolve it.

For VS on windows, you need to launch using this script: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-dotnet/blob/master/startvs.cmd Perhaps a similar trick would be needed for VS for Mac.

I got it working on VS 2019 for Mac by adding this to my csproj file.

  <Target Name="Protobuf_Compile_Before_AssemblyReferences" BeforeTargets="ResolveAssemblyReferences">

    <CallTarget Targets="_Protobuf_Compile_BeforeCsCompile" />

  </Target>

This solution did not work for .net standard libraries though, only .net core 3 targets.
