I have similar issue.

I noticed that the .csprog file used by dotnet-script is missing the tag <ImplicitUsings>enable<ImplicitUsings>. I removed from my Webapi app and received the same wornings/errors during build.

I noticed that in dotnet script, the .csproj file re-generated. Is there a template somewhere that i can add this missing tag?

thx...

That would be a nice to have feature in dotnet-script. Or perhaps it's there and I don't know how to set it.

Implicit usings are an SDK feature, not a compiler feature.
CSX scripts already include a bunch of usings by default out of the box (in fact scripting has done this before global usings even existed).

Can you explain the use case you have?

This is currently a limitation, but we will address this (see #694 (comment))

The project file is generated to only load dependencies, implicit usings would have no effect here.

I assume my use case may be unique.

In my case i'm previous c# (Windows) developer, now at a Ruby shop. Wanted to see how dotnet with c# might be a benefit. I assume ruby devs may be more comfortable with c# scripting. I compared writing a web app using scripting and a standard dotnet minimal web app both in c#. I found the minimal app a little 'cleaner'. For example given the extensive use of global usings prevented needing 'usings' in each c# file. For me not a big deal but for devs coming from a ruby background maybe more challenging. Was thinking of a way i could set all that up. I could add all/most of the libraries from Microsoft in advance.

Also using Visual Code, I had to refresh the intellisense extension all the time.

So for my particular use case i think scripting may not be the best option.
