APPLICATIONS show "The Dapr CLI and runtime do not appear to be installed"

[john-deng]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Install Dapr vscode extension
2. Create a donet core app

dotnet new webapi --no-https --name netcoreapp

3. Run the app

dapr run --app-id netcoreapp --dapr-http-port 3500

Everything works in the command line, but the vsocde extension show the error message "The Dapr CLI and runtime do not appear to be installed "

@john-deng What version of Dapr is installed? What's the result of running dapr --version in a terminal window (outside of VS Code)? What's the result of running the command in a terminal window inside of VS Code? (Sometimes we see weird PATH issues on Mac that prevent the extension from finding the Dapr binaries.)

[john-deng]

@philliphoff Here is dapr info in terminal (inside and outside of vscode are the same, both use zsh with ohmyzsh theme)

dapr --version
CLI version: edge
Runtime version: 1.1.2

[philliphoff]

Ok, I see the problem; we're trying to parse the CLI version and not recognizing edge as a valid version number. (Is this a locally-built version of the CLI?) I don't know why I did that originally, but I can't think of a reason today why we should be that strict. In any case, I'll designate this as a bug! As a workaround, try using a released/RC version of Dapr (which I suppose isn't really a workaround, but it's the best I have at the moment).

[john-deng]

@philliphoff yes, the cli is built by myself.

[philliphoff]

@john-deng Another workaround, now that I'm thinking about it, would be to modify your local build to generate a semver-compatible version number.

[john-deng]

@philliphoff Great, when will this workaround be available? however, even I downloaded the official binary relase v1.2.0, it still shows that 'No Dapr application are running', here is the screenshot,

[philliphoff]

Do you see the same thing if you start Dapr using a VS Code daprd task? If not, you might be seeing #169, in which VS Code may not see dapr CLI started sidecars.
