dnx run a C# Console App on Visual Studio Code

Question

I've followed the steps this guy proposed , but when I write "run" on VSC and select dnx run , it says:

There are no entries to pick from

Here's the Omnisharp console output:

I don't see full output from OmniSharp.log in this screenshot but I believe I had similar issue with running application in Visual Studio Code. The problem is related with OmniSharp, which is looking for DNX runtimes in home directory: $HOME/.dnx/runtimes . However, currently dnx runtimes are installed in /usr/local/lib/dnx/runtimes . There are few possibilities how to solve it. I've used probably the easiest one: ln -sfF /usr/local/lib/dnx/runtimes ~/.dnx/

You can also check where runtimes are located by using command: dnvm list -detailed

My output looks like that (last column is important):
