Bug VSCode issue with 4K+ missing references [SOLVED]

Hi there,

Is anybody else having issues with references in VSCode? I get the 4K+ Problems constantly with all the "This type or namespace name _____ does not exist..." errors.

I don't know if this is from a recent update (has only happened in the last day), but I have tried different projects, rolling back VS Code packages, different versions of Unity (2020.1,2019.4), different VSCode versions (1.50, 1.49), deleting and regenerating project files, deleting Library folder. Some of these worked in the past, but now I am stumped.

 

Found the solution in another thread:

https://forum.unity.com/threads/vs-code-error-solved.955503/

The VSCode C# extension has a bug, so you must downgrade it to 1.23.0 for the errors to go away.

 

Thank you for this. It seems like every other month some extension or plugin update breaks the Unity/VSCode integration, often silently in the background.
