Regression
Yes
UnityEngine.UI reference is missing in Assembly Definition Assemblies and Plugins
To reproduce:
1. Download attached “UnityUIReference.zip" project and open in Unity
2. Open Console window
Expected results: There is no Error
Actual results: There is Error:
"Assets/AsmDef/Test.cs(1,19): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'UI' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"
Notes:
- This issue appears both on Windows and macOS
- Notice how UnityEngine.UI resolves properly with a normal Script (Assets/Test.cs)
- Notice how UnityEngine.UI fails to resolve in the Script placed under an Assembly Definition (Assets/AsmDef/Test.cs)
Reproduced on Unity 2019.2.0a5, 2019.2.0b2 and 2019.3.0a3
Not reproduced on Unity 2019.2.0a4
Regression on Unity 2019.2.0a5

it happened to me when I removed VS Code and stayed with visual studio 2019. I'm using 2021.2.10f
so TextMesh pro and UI do not Exist anymore. I think VS-Code Took the libraries out from visual studio 2019 during uninstalling altogether.

I am still having this issue with 2019.4.1f1
No 3rd party packages are installed, just the new Input System, and URP.
I was able to fix it with Edit > Preferences.. > External Tools and regenerating .csproj files for everything.
It's only ever UnityEngine.UI that gets lost.

Impressionante como este tipo de problema é recorrente na Unity! As vezes dá vontade até mesmo de desistir! O problema continua nas versões mais novas! Qual é o problema de vocês?

...the issue re-appears always when I create a new C#-script inside one of my project folders. Could be fixed the same way (downgrade to VSCode package 1.1.3, close Unity, open it again and upgrade to 1.1.4)

upgraded to 2019.3.0f6 and had the same issue with VSCode. Fixed it by downgrading the VSCode package to 1.1.3 and then back to 1.1.4.
