Description

pio project init --ide visualstudio --board uno

I am following the instructions here from the documentation. After creating the PlatformIO project in the command line I am not able to open it in Visual Studio 2022.
I see the instructions to do this are the following
Import this project via Menu: File > Open > Project/Solution and specify root directory where is located “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File)
It doesn't let me open this because there is no 'project file' in that, or any directory according to Visual Studio. Not in the directory the "platformio.ini" is located in or any other.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the generated project files after running 'pio project init ide visualstudio'. Verify that Visual Studio solution files (.sln) are created. If not, there might be a bug in the PlatformIO visual studio generator.
