[BUG] Error running command csdevkit.addNewFile: The type initializer for 'HostData' threw an exception.

[jorgelaranjo]

Describe the Issue

I can't add files from solution explorer from a simple project. Gives me this error:

Error running command csdevkit.addNewFile: The type initializer for 'HostData' threw an exception.. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes csdevkit.addNewFile.

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Expected Behavior

Creates file

Environment Information

• VSCode: 1.95.3
• OS: 6.12.1-arch1-1
• SDK: 8.0.110
• csdevkit v1.14.14
  Project is on Dotnet 8.0

Seems similar to #1000

@adrianvmsft , @Michael-Eng : could you please help?

[Michael-Eng]

@JakeRadMSFT can you take a look - could it be related to the template engine?

Showing again. Based on logs, could be similar to #386
But after a few restarts of VSCode it works. I'd like to pinpoint the problem to avoid it.

Root Cause:
The issue occurred because DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT was set to 1, disabling full globalization support.

Resolution:
Unset DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT or set it to 0 to enable proper functionality.
