I encountered a bug where I had git-cloned a project, opened it in VSCode and built it, and then I git checkout other-branch in the VSCode terminal. Since I then wanted to do an Intellisense rebuild I clicked in the project tasks “Default” section but then the error

occurrs. Clicking the “Refresh” button in the project tasks also doesn’t work, and the scaffold expands to nothing, although there should be tasks there.

Could you re-test with Beta 3 by a link above?

Confirmed fixed, error message does not appear anymore and the “Default” project tasks are expandable again and execute correctly.
