setup Visual Studio Code on Linux

Hi I am working on Manjaro (Linux) and installed the "dotnet" packages via package manager. After that I installed the C#, C# FixFormat, Debugger for Unity, Unity Code Snippets and Unity Tools extensions via Visual Studio Code.

I would like to achieve the same as I would do with Visual Studio ... if possible? ...

So I am missing some features (sometimes I have some trouble describing the problem):

- When I press F12 on a class, I get no definition. Dependencies are not recognized. "I can't jump to other files"
- The code format behaves like a default text editor. When creating a new method I have to indent the braces myself.
- VSC knows some Unity methods like "OnTriggerEnter" but not everything. For example namespaces are missing completely (e.g. using UnityEngine).
- It's lacking full Intellisense support.

I also get the warning "Some projects have trouble loading. Please review the output for more details" which leads to these warnings / errors

So how did you setup your VSC? What am I missing?

Help would be really awesome because I don't want to pay for Rider if I don't have to..

 

I had the same problem ad after two days I solved it.

Unfortunately .NET Framework is available only for Windows and the only way to replace it is by Installing Mono: https://www.mono-project.com/

After you do that, close VS Code and reopen it, and the project should load without any problems.

All of this because of Microsoft, and I'm using Ubuntu. Oof.

 

Hi,

There is an extra step, once you have installed Mono you need to update your VS Code C# extension settings to: Omnisharp: Use Global Mono = Always

 

This doesn't work anymore. They removed the use global mono setting from vscode.
