Yes you can disable the extension and you will see the error go away. There is already an open issue there too https://github.com/tintoy/msbuild-project-tools-vscode/issues/59

Seems to be related to having .Net Core 3.1 preview installed. Even thought the .csproj file indicates <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.0</TargetFrameWork>, the .Net Core 3.1 preview tooling is being referenced. Adding a global.json file to specify .Net Core 3.0:

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "3.0.100"
  }
}

eliminated the error. Updating to a target framework of netcoreapp3.1 (without the global.json) still shows the error)

Same yet, 3.1.100

Month and a half later, still the same error. Cannot compile any .Net Core 3.1 applications.

I am unable to reproduce it with the latest extension version + Mono 6.6.0 (like in your example).

Could you please share the repro project - thanks. Maybe you can also set "omnisharp.loggingLevel": "debug" and capture the OmniSharp log then.
Also, what do you mean by Cannot compile any .Net Core 3.1 applications? The OmniSharp extension is not responsible for compiling the applications - dotnet SDK is.

edit:
also, the latest beta of OmniSharp has moved to msbuild 16.4, you could try setting "omnisharp.path": "latest" (which would install the latest beta) and see if it helps..

Actually, I had a look and this problem is caused by extension called msbuild-project-tools and not by OmniSharp.
Therefore I will close this issue. Please open an issue in https://github.com/tintoy/msbuild-project-tools-vscode/

Interesting. I do have that extension installed (it's very helpful when editing the .csproj files)
