    In Package Manager, find "Visual Studio Code Editor" and upgrade to version 1.2.3 to fix the issue

    I have received an update from Unity that this issue has been resolved in `com.unity.ide.vscode@1.2.3`. You can see the changes to the code mirrored here: https://github.com/needle-mirror/com.unity.ide.vscode/commit/efa6bd0ed1ed0129f6f5c47c81f1d4b2bbd9ac53.

    So update the package `com.unity.ide.vscode` to version 1.2.3 and everything should be working again.

    Thank you @peabnuts123 for the workaround. I am new to issue tracker and not sure where to file this issue.

    UPDATE: It turns out com.unity.ide.vscode@1.1.4 is utterly broke as well, see Unity forum thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/visual-studio-code-editor-1-1-4-error-the-referenced-project-does-not-exist.806628/

    1.2.0 was a release to address this issue. It seems the recommendation at the moment is to actually roll back to 1.1.3. This is (finally) working correctly for my on my machine.

    A regression has been made in the package com.unity.ide.vscode since v1.2.0 that re-introduces this property in generated csproj files, breaking external compilers.

    You can see it in the code mirrored here: https://github.com/needle-mirror/com.unity.ide.vscode/blob/168d16ca32f5864f8b9332b440c538b8171850bc/Editor/ProjectGeneration/ProjectGeneration.cs#L479

    If you revert back to com.unity.ide.vscode@1.1.4 then this problem goes away (though you lose the "Regenerate project files" button in settings - automatic generation still works). I've raised a ticket with Unity to remove this from the package, will comment here again when it is updated.

    I was chasing my tail for about 3 hours this morning, after upgrading from 2019.3.3f1 to 2019.3.12f1. I'm glad someone found it and posted the fix. I t was getting annoying as all hell!!
