Hello,
Just wanted to draw your attention to a known issue that has been fixed by an update that can be downloaded via the CU5. Link to CU5 can be found here. On that site, the following is added:
AL Development for Dynamics 365 Business Central
For information about how to develop extensions for Dynamics 365 Business Central see AL Development for Dynamics 365 Business Central
For download of the corrected ModernDev AL VSIX extension see the download link
So what broke and what has been resolved with the immediate update to CU5? AL Extension VSIX throw System.IO.FileLoadException related to Newtonsoft.Json dependency in Visual Studio Code. Repro:
1. Deploy VSIX from NAV 2018 CU 5 in VS Code
2. Create a simple HelloWorld sample from scratch (AL:GO!)
--> ERROR is displayed in VS Code
Unhandled Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. —> System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed’ or one of its dependencies. The located assembly’s manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) —> System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Newtonsoft.Json, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed’ or one of its dependencies.

You can download the correction via the blog posting or edit a file yourself.
1. Edit this file
"C:\Users\<username> \.vscode\extensions\Microsoft.al-0.12.20065\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.EditorServices.Host.exe.config"
2. Changed binding from 10 to 9
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-10.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
