    My project can't compile in external source editors due to none of the packages being installed locally to my project:

    Am I supposed to copy these files from the cache in my appdata or is this a bug?

    Also, my project is not dependent on any of this code. Why is unity forcing a dependency on it or is that too a bug?

    I am experiencing the same problem with every package I'm using from package manager:
    Unity.PackageManagerUI.Editor
    Unity.TextMeshPro
    Unity.TextMeshPro.Editor
    UnityEditor.StandardEvents

    If anyone has the same problem the solution is to update Visual Studio. You can do this from Notification windows in Visual Studio, there will be a notification about a new version being available.

    Thanks @MaxPirat for the solution.
    Apologies you ran into this issue, @TheSlate, I'll discuss with the dev-team to see if there is something we can do to reduce this type of attrition.

    Cheers,

    I didn't have a notification, so I must have ignored it. Manually running the VS updater fixed things.

    I'm having a similar error, but instead of saying not found it says "Script 'Packages/com.unity.package-manager-ui/Editor/Sources/Services/Common/ApplicationUtil.cs' will not be compiled because it exists outside the Assets folder and does not to belong to any assembly definition file.
    UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorCompilationInterface:CompileScripts(EditorScriptCompilationOptions, BuildTargetGroup, BuildTarget)"

    This happened after upgrading to 2019.1.11f1 from 2019.1.8f1. I'm on Windows 10, and have Visual Studio 2019 (Visual Studio is fully up to date).
