Not autocomplete/Intellisense on VSCode with Unity 2019.3.0a8

I'm having some really strange issues with auto-complete on VSCode on unity.

It works on some older projects but does not work on any projects regardless of what version of unity the new project is on.

I've tried everything.Went through the forum and re-installed VSCode, installed Mono (Though I'm on windows), installed everything from https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity, tried opening folder from VSCode and tried right clicking the script then "open c# project" and nothing works.

I don't understand as it worked 2 months ago when i used it.

I am currently using Visual Studio Community but it's now saying that My trial is about to expire :-( and I prefer VSCode.

Is anyone from Unity able to support me with this? please.

 

nobody from Unity can tell me why VSCode Intellisense wont work with Unity anymore?

 

Same. Just updated to 2019.3 and intellisense is not working at all.
Also the namespaces are messed up for me.

 

2 months later and there is still no solution for this....

Every time i update unity, a massive headache is involved.

 

Still an issue, no auto complete -.- what an unusable garbage this new 2019.03 version

 

Assuming you have setup everything else correctly:

- Delete all your .csproj and .sln in project folder
- Create a new script in Unity, to force it to regenerate these files again
- Reload your project in vs code.
- See if it fixes your issue, it did for me.

 

Recreating sln to include csproj assembly worked for me.
Delete the files if you have them and temporarily set the editor to "Visual Studio".
The editor shows checkboxes to generate csproj and add to sln.
This is within Unity -> Preferences -> External Tools.

 

Reverting the "Visual Studio Code Editor" package from 1.1.4 to 1.1.3 fixed the issue for me.

 

How did you do that?

Edit:
Just found it! And it worked for me!
And for others that's also new to Unity you find it by opening the Window menu and select Package Manager. Then you should see the package Visual Studio Code Editor package with version 1.1.4 installed. Click on the arrow to the left and select "See all versions". Select the 1.1.3 version and click on the button "Update to 1.1.3" in the lower right corner of the dialog.

 

yap, that solve the issue for me too. but every time i upgrade unity i have issues with vs code. unity should solved that for good!

 

This worked for me too, thanks!

 

This essentially worked for me, as well. I was on VSCode Editor 1.2.0, reverted to 1.1.3, which did not fix it, but then returned to 1.2.0, which fixed it.

I believe removing and reimporting 1.2.0 also would have resolved it.

 

Thank you so much, this solution worked! I hope they smooth this out in an upcoming release.

 

Thank you!

 

Switching the editor in preferences to Visual Studio and then switching it back to Visual Studio Code, also worked for me.

Switch to Visual Studio.
Go to: `Edit -> Preferences -> External tools -> External Script Editor -> set it to Visual Studio.`
Open a Script in Visual Studio.

Then switch it back to Visual Studio Code.
Go to: `Edit -> Preferences -> External tools -> External Script Editor -> set it to Visual Studio Code.`
Open a script in Visual Studio Code. See it works.

Maybe it is not even necessary to reopen the scripts and the editor switch will just do the trick.

 

To get code hinting working correctly I had to update the vs code C# plugin "Use global mono" from "Auto" to "Always"

Hope this helps

 

Blessed answer! Did solve my problem!!!

 

Perfect!! Autocomplete working now!

 

Thanks! That fixed it for me

 

still helping

 

@kainthekiller Worked for me too, you just fixed months of headaches

 

Still Having This Awkward Problem

 

Try "omnisharp.useGlobalMono": "always" in Visual Studio Code settings.json

 

Is the Mono fix exclusive to MacOS? I saw some dude say it only applies to Mac and Windows users only need .NET Framework (which I have installed), yet intellisense still does not work.

 

Updating on this: The "Use global mono" setting was removed in version 1.25 of the C# plugin. so you need to revert to a 1.24.x version to still have that option. then this still works.

 

The above setting worked for me. I'm on Visual Studio Code v1.7.1.2 - on Windows, press Ctrl + P to open the action bar, then type in Settings.json, then add the below entry to the JSON:

Code (CSharp):

1. "omnisharp.useGlobalMono": "always"

 

I found an answer for future versions (Like 2021 and onward). You need to make sure the package "Visual Studio Code Editor" is installed and enabled on the project. After that, Go to File -> Preferences -> External Tools. Make sure the Embedded packages and Local packages are enabled and click "regenerate csproj". That should FIx everything

 

This may help you with intellisense and possibly other Visual Studio integration problems:

Sometimes the fix is as simple as doing Assets -> Open C# Project from Unity. Other times it requires more.

Other times it requires you also nuke the userprefs and .vsconfig and other crufty low-value high-hassle files that Visual Studio tends to slowly damage over time, then try the above trick.

Barring all that, move on to other ideas:

https://forum.unity.com/threads/intellisense-not-working-with-visual-studio-fix.836599/

Also, try update the VSCode package inside of Unity: Window -> Package Manager -> Search for Visual Studio Code Editor -> Press the Update button

To get Visual Studio Code on Mac working, I used the guide on the Visual Studio site:

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity

I setup Visual Studio Code as the editor in Unity, deleted the csproj and sln files then run the game to rebuild the files and open a script from Unity, which opens the project folder in Visual Studio Code.

The main setting that made things work was in Visual Studio Code settings, search for Omnisharp modern and uncheck the box to Use Modern Net. A binary started downloading in the Visual Studio Code terminal.

All the autocomplete, function definitions, error reporting etc started working after that.

Opening scripts from Unity can show the error about Mono not being installed. Opening the project directory in Visual Studio Code works and when the project is open, clicking files in Unity will open them in the existing window.
