Run and Debug doesn't populate with projects

[clarity99]

Type: Bug

Issue Description

I have a solution with a few projects - 2 console, 2 libraries, 2 asp.net core mvc apps. In Run and Debug I only see one console app, nothing else.
I tried: Generate Assets for Run and Debug, and it asks me to regenerate them and properly shows the possible projects and after I select one which should be main, nothing happens. In the Solution Explorer I see all the projects and can run & debug them.

Steps to Reproduce

Expected Behavior

Run and Debug should have the same projects to run as Solution Explorer

Actual Behavior

Only one project shows up.

@clarity99 Would these projects happen to be in folder above/other than where the current vscode folder is opened?

@clarity99 Would these projects happen to be in folder above/other than where the current vscode folder is opened?

No. Top level folder is open.
I've now deleted launch.json in top level .vscode folder and rerun Generate Assets for Run and Debug and now it recreated the file, with just the one project to run that I selected when running. I guess that's better than nothing, but to me it would still make sense to have all the projects available, if it is able to detect them in solution explorer.

[WardenGnaw]

Is the issue that Generate Assets for Run and Debug will show all the projects but hitting Run and Debug will only show one console project?

[clarity99]

Solution explorer shows all projects, Generate Assets for Run and Debug shows some of them, and Run and Debug only one.

Generate Assets for Run and Debug shows some of them

@dibarbet Any ideas why the Generate Assets for Run and Debug is dropping some projects?

Run and Debug only one.

@tmeschter Any ideas why we are missing some projects from being listed?

@dibarbet Any ideas why the Generate Assets for Run and Debug is dropping some projects?

Generate assets will only generate 'runnable' projects, so the console projects and potentially the mvc ones.

@clarity99 is the project in run and debug the one you selected to generate?

[clarity99]

@dibarbet after deleting launch.json now the run and debug shows the one project I selected to generate yes. if i select another web project it replaces the one from before. however, console project is added, so I have now two projects in run and debug - web and console. it's weird.
