Ionide-vscode-fsharp: Does Ionide work with .NET Core? (Mac OS X)

[sivabudh]

Hi,

I'm following this tutorial Getting Started with F# on .NET Core, and when I launched Visual Studio Code + Ionide extension installed, I couldn't get F# REPL to run properly.

I don't have Mono installed as I want to stick with .NET Core.

Is my question too early? Eg. .NET Core is not supported yet by Ionide / Visual Studio Code.

Thanks!

As far as I know, F# on .NET Core is still under development and it's not supported by Ionide, so you need to use Mono. VS Code itself supports .NET Core but only for C#

Ionide understands .Net Core projects (both project.json and fsprojs targeting .Net Core). But you still need to have mono to run language services.

Just to help others that might stumble upon this issue while Googling.

So I just installed brew install mono and now F# REPL works in Visual Studio Code.
