ASP.NET OmniSharp server is not running on Ubuntu Mono

[xameeramir]

After setting up VS Code, I'm trying to run an ASP.NET 5 project using Visual studio code's command palette on Ubuntu Linux 14.4.

The DNVM installed is for Mono. Following the steps given on VS code's official docs, the project is created with Yeoman scaffolder.

Whenever trying to start the project, I get the following error:

OmniSharp server is not running.

I found some posts when trying to solve this but most seems to be addressing either Console project or are given for OS x:

• For a Console App
• This is for debugging not running
• The output of mono --version shows that it is >3.12:

• My dnvm is already the latest

I can run the project by using dnx web command from Terminal.

However, my simple question:

• How do I run ASP.NET 5 on Ubuntu using VS Code?

Side question : Not sure by when the debugging will be supported. Any rumours about the extension will be appreciated.

@jrieken I have the same problem on Windows 10. The linked issue dotnet/vscode-csharp#27 is still not resolved. For workaround should I do this - run omnisharp manually as stated in Windows section here?

@jannavarro As per my question, I'm able to run the project by going into project directory using cd and using dnx web . See if that works for you.
