Ionide Intellisense not recognizing Nuget Packages

[robertmaxton42]

I'm having trouble getting Ionide to recognize packages outside .NET. For example, FParsec:

As with #421, I can build fine, but the solution listed there doesn't seem to work for me - while I didn't have MSBUILD_TOOLS added as a variable the first time, I've added it and then reinstalled Ionide, and then Code entirely and the problem persists.

Can you share the project file (and Paket files if you use it)

[robertmaxton42]

Sure. Zip contains the .fsproj, paket.references, paket.lock, paket.dependencies, and for bonus points the .fs file in my screenshot above (there isn't actually any more code than is visible but I thought it might be handy), directory tree structure preserved.

@robertmaxton42 i tried locally, the repro works for me locally after some changes.

as a note, i tried with .net 4.6.2, not 4.7.1 because i dont have it (enricosada/IonideDebug_697@02a7c84), but shouldnt matter (to be sure, please try my repo too)

Some errors:

First, the file Parser.fs was not included in the fsproj enricosada/IonideDebug_697@0df74be (that may be the cause, because if not in project, cannot use fsproj references like FParsec). ref #681

And you shouldnt use <Reference Include="FParsec because that's to reference the assemblies in GAC, just remove it enricosada/IonideDebug_697@ceceff2

@robertmaxton42 can you please check on bottom left, in the F#: solution explorer if the project is loaded correctly, if reference and files are correct, like this

[robertmaxton42]

Yep, that fixed it. The first one, that is, though I took out the FParsec reference in the fsproj just to be safe. Thanks for the help!
