Cannot debug with Visual Studio 7.3 for Mac

I am using VS 2017 for Mac as the scripts editor (mainly since MonoDevelop just wont work with latest MacOS).

Was working fine until the latest 7.3 update of VS 2017.

With this version, I cannot debug. VS 2017 tries to run the unit tests (which I do not have) and when I hit the play button to start a debug session it will immediately finish the session.
I can't find a way to tell VS not to run the unit tests, and instead run the unity project, like on previous versions.

Anyone have an idea how to manage that?

 

Same problem here but Im on Sierra 10.12.6.

You can downgrade back to version 7.2.2.11 here:

If you dont want to downgrade, you can also select Run->Attach to Process and change the debugger to Unity Debugger and press Attach. You'll need to do this every time you want to debug in VS.

 

Visual Studio for Mac 7.3 generates wrong Solution version so make sure you add solution file (.sln) and project file (.csproj) to version control (GIT). So you have to revert solution file everytime Unity update or import assets.

Quick fix is replace this header in Solution file from

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
3. # Visual Studio 2010

to

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
3. # Visual Studio for Mac

 

Downgrading didn't help, but attaching to the Unity debugger works for now.

Hopefully this thing will be sorted out in the future...

 

Keep having the same problem with Visual Studio for Mac from time to time. Meanwhile though, Unity has a "Regenerate Project Files" button in the settings, next to where you can select Visual Studio as your IDE. That fixes the problem with the wrong default debugger for me!
