Steps to reproduce

• Install VSCode extension v1.7.0.
• Try to format any C# file using the extension (e.g. by saving the file).

Expected behavior

The C# file is formatted.

Actual behavior

Nothing happened to the C# file. The log showed that CSharpier process failed to start.

Temporary workarounds

• Downgrading the extension (to v1.6.0) solved the problem.
• Executing dotnet csharpier <file_path> in the VSCode terminal worked fine.

I wasn't able to reproduce this but am fairly confident I know what the problem was. It is concerning that it wasn't logging any error indicating why csharpier failed to start.

Let me know if 1.7.1 resolves the problem for you.

@belav: This issue is fixed with v1.7.1. Thanks a lot for your quick response.
