The error had better add suggestion command for users to upgrade compiler version.

@xiaohua899 It will be fixed after public release so please try the following workaround.

@msyyc After installing @typespec/compiler@next, when creating TypeSpec project, the initialize project will fail, as follows:

Feels you are not using latest code. Where did you get the vsix? Please make sure it includes the latest code from typespec main

[msyyc]

@xiaohua899 Please follow @RodgeFu's suggestion to try latest .vsix built from https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/tree/main.

nit: how to build .vsix locally:

PS C:\dev > git clone https://github.com/microsoft/typespec.git
PS C:\dev > cd typespec
PS C:\dev\typespec > cd packages\typespec-vscode
PS C:\dev\typespec\packages\typespec-vscode > pnpm package-vsix

@msyyc We successfully built the .vsix file from https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/tree/main and created the typespec project.

We have a few questions to confirm with you, as follows:

1. After installing the latest build of the .vsix file, the Typespec: Generate form TypeSpec command is missing.
   

2. When running Typespec: Create TypeSpec Project, the prompt for Select libraries to install or update only appears after selecting Generic REST API(min Compiler ver: 0.63.0).
   For Empty project, TypeSpec Library (With TypeScript), and TypeSpec Emitter (With TypeScript), no such prompt appears. Is this the expected result?
   

3. We still need to install @typespec/compiler@next, otherwise an error will be reported:
   

Steps:

1. Built the .vsix file,

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/typespec.git
cd typespec
npm install -g pnpm
pnpm install
pnpm build
cd packages\typespec-vscode
pnpm package-vsix

2. Install the .vsix file.
3. Install compiler npm install -g @typespec/compiler@next.
4. Create TypeSpec Project.

5. eate TypeSpec Project.

1. you need to use package from this PR Generate Code from TypeSpec in VSCode microsoft/typespec#5312 which contains both feature.
2. it should be expected, but please compare with "tsp init" command to double check
3. yes, we need to use @next version until 0.64 is released. thx.

[xiaohua899]

@RodgeFu Thanks for your reply.

1. The .vsix file built from the package in Generate Code from TypeSpec in VSCode microsoft/typespec#5312 contains these two functions.
2. It is as expected, we compared with the "tsp init" command.
