    I'm trying to use Unity Remote 5 with Unity 2019.2.16f1, but when I hit play I get this message:

    I guess the solution for this, is to setup an environment variable on Windows, but I just have no idea of what the name of such variable should be. Any help will be appreciated.

    I'm getting the same error. I just updated from version 2019.1.4f1 to 2019.2.16f1, and it happens whenever I hit the play button

    Upgraded from 2019.2.8f to 17f and I'm getting the same problem now. Is this a known issue yet?

    Open the ProjectGeneration.cs file from the vscode package and change the body for this method 
    static bool ShouldSyncOnReimportedAsset(string asset)


    to:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. return k_ReimportSyncExtensions.Contains(Path.GetExtension(asset));
    On that note, can someone point me to the dev team which maintains this package so I can let them know of this issue and fix?
