Visual Studio Code – Unable to get dotnet information while trying to create project in C#

I am beginner in C#, and currently trying to build my first project using C#.

But the problem is, I got the error after clicking this button which triggered by Ctrl+Shift+P in VSCode.

> .NET: New Project

The error:

Command ‘.NET: New Project…’ resulted in an error
Unable to get dotnet information to initialize template engine host

I checked I successfully downloaded .NET Install Tool, C# from Extensions. And also check to my dotnet version is 8.0.301.

Has anyone seen this error or know how to figure out this one?

    try this
    Download .NET 8.0 SDK
    you need the .net sdk to create apps without it vs code will be acting more like a text editor

    I got the same host engine unable error and I tried closing everything and restarting the entire Mac, turns out it did work perfectly. Most of us never shutdown our Macs so I guess it needs a reboot to work. Try restarting your entire Mac. That’s my solution. Worked for me👍
