OmniSharp server doesn't start ([ERROR] Error: command 'dotnet.test.run' already exists)

[emin2105]

Cannot use C# in my unity project because omnisharp server doesn't start

The same issue was described in #2952 and has been closed earlier but the problem still appears

OmniSharp version 1.34.11

OmniSharp server started.

does this happen when you disable all other extensions?

[emin2105]

Disabled all other extensions and it worked, ty.
Yet still it's not clear what exactly causes the problem, need to enable them one by one now.

[emin2105]

Well, it seems that this has something to do with the vscode-solution-explorer extension, which is not very good since it's a very useful extension to work with dotnet projects and there was no problem with it so far.
Disabling it will solve the problem, so apparently they are somehow incompatible now.

[filipw]

then I think you should open an issue there 😀

fwiw I just got this error and do not have the vscode-solution-explorer extension. I disabled all my extensions and re-enabled them one-by-one and the error resolved itself :|. Maybe a race condition with some other plugin? Here are my plugins in case it helps someone else diagnose which ones were conflicting:

• C#
• Cake
• Docker
• GitLens
• Numbered Bookmarks
• Powershell
• Prettier
• Remote - WSL
• TSLint

For what it's worth, the issue is pretty old, I reinstalled the C# plugin and then it started to work again.
