I want to get the type represented by var .
var localDeclaration = methodDeclaration.DescendantNodes().OfType<LocalDeclarationStatementSyntax>().First();
var identifierName = localDeclaration.DescendantNodes().OfType<IdentifierNameSyntax>().First();
var symbolInfo = semanticModel.GetSymbolInfo(identifierName);
var typeSymbol = semanticModel.GetTypeInfo(identifierName).Type;
I tried GetSymbolInfo() and GetTypeInfo(), the first one returns null, the second one returns {?}.
Get Type of 'var' with Roslyn
The method it provides does not work either. The debugging information is attached in the figure below. You can see that these values are all null or {?}.
My code looks like this
public class Start
    static void Main(string[] args)
        InitEnvironment();
        Run();
        Console.ReadLine();
    private static void InitEnvironment()
        GlobalVariable.MySolution = MSBuildWorkspace.Create().OpenSolutionAsync(ConstVariable.SolutionPath).Result;
        GlobalVariable.MyProject = GlobalVariable.MySolution.Projects.First(x => x.Name == "GamePlay");
        GlobalVariable.CompilationByAll = GlobalVariable.MyProject.GetCompilationAsync().Result;
    private static void Run()
        var tree = SyntaxTreeProcessor.GetSyntaxTreeByFileName(ConstVariable.SystemPath + @"\GameModeSystems\JokerMode\JokerProcessPlayerStatisSystems.cs");
        var semanticModel = GlobalVariable.CompilationByAll.GetSemanticModel(tree);
        var methodDeclarations = tree.GetRoot().DescendantNodes().OfType<MethodDeclarationSyntax>().ToList();
        foreach(var methodDeclaration in methodDeclarations)
            Console.WriteLine($"methodDeclaration:{methodDeclaration.Identifier.ValueText}");
            var localDeclaration = methodDeclaration.DescendantNodes().OfType<LocalDeclarationStatementSyntax>().First();
            var identifierName = localDeclaration.DescendantNodes().OfType<IdentifierNameSyntax>().First();
            foreach (var varibale in localDeclaration.Declaration.Variables)
                Console.WriteLine($"varibale.Identifier:{varibale.Identifier}");
                Console.WriteLine($"varibale.Initializer:{varibale.Initializer}");
            var variableType = semanticModel.GetSymbolInfo(localDeclaration.Declaration.Type).Symbol;
            var typeSymbol = semanticModel.GetTypeInfo(identifierName).Type;
            var symbolInfo = semanticModel.GetSymbolInfo(identifierName);
        Console.WriteLine(tree.FilePath);
I tried the Syntax Visualizer tool in visual studio 2019 and it showed the correct type.
The result of GetDiagnostic() is as follows:

                If you mean "in the question": nothing wrong I can see, except maybe replace that image with code (images are the absolute worst way to share code); interesting question, and the post GSerg links to may help - it sound like you e already tried GetSymbolInfo(), though

                Yes, I tried my best to search for similar problems and try to solve them. But until now, I still don't know how to solve it. I have added relevant debugging information and relatively complete code.

I seem to have found a solution. I put it here for people with the same confusion. If you have a better way, you are welcome to write it down below. thanks.
        private static void InitEnvironment()
            GlobalVariable.MySolution = MSBuildWorkspace.Create().OpenSolutionAsync(ConstVariable.SolutionPath).Result;
            var metadataReferenceCustomDlls = Directory.GetFiles(@"I:\gameplay\Library\", "*.dll");
            var metadataReferences = metadataReferenceCustomDlls.Select(f => MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(f)).ToList();
            var metadataReferenceNetStandardDlls = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\user\.nuget\packages\netstandard.library\2.0.3\build\netstandard2.0\ref\", "*.dll");
            var metadataReferencesB = metadataReferenceNetStandardDlls.Select(f => MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(f)).ToList();
            metadataReferences = metadataReferences.Concat(metadataReferencesB).ToList();
            foreach (var projectId in GlobalVariable.MySolution.ProjectIds.ToArray())
                GlobalVariable.MySolution = GlobalVariable.MySolution.AddMetadataReferences(projectId, metadataReferences);
            GlobalVariable.MyProject = GlobalVariable.MySolution.Projects.First(x => x.Name == "GamePlay");
            GlobalVariable.CompilationByAll = GlobalVariable.MyProject.GetCompilationAsync().Result;
I added some code in InitEnvironment().In general, the corresponding reference is added.
