Step 2: Choose IBM Blockchain Platform: Package a Smart Contract Project continues to throw error message

[Github4Aaron]

When completing Step 2 of the tutorial ("Package the Smart Contract") and after navigating to the Contract folder as the root, when one attempts to select the "IBM Blockchain Platform: Package a Smart Contract Package", and error is thrown that reads:

"Failed to determine workspace language type, supported languages are JavaScript, TypeScript, Go and Java. Please ensure your contract's root-level directory is open in the Explorer."

@Github4Aaron this error often happens if you have other directories open in your VSCode instance. Please try and open a new VSCode instance, with only the Contract directory. See if that fixes the problem.

I also get the same error after running that. below is the output of the terminal
