Support .editorconfig in C# project generation

I'm using Unity 2018.3.8f1 and it doesn't recognize the .editorconfig file inside Assets folder. So when the C# solution is regenerated I must manually add it back.

I expect when the .editorconfig file is at the same level or below the .asmdef, it should be included in the project of that .asmdef. Otherwise, if it's not be within any project, it should be a "Solution Item".

 

This would be a really nice quality of life addition, using editor configs seems to be pretty prevalent even among the official Unity repositories that I've seen, but having to re-add them every time the solution is opened for the first time is annoying especially if switching between projects.

 

In the meanwhile, we could use this solution instead.

It's 2023, is this still the best way to have a Visual Studio .editorconfig file in a Unity project? I'm surprised searching for this didn't have more results or solutions.

 

No. From Visual Studio 2019.4 you can already use .editorconfig the normal way. Just put it on the project folder where .csproj files are generated.

 

Thanks. I was confused because the editorconfig wasn't showing up in the Visual Studio project, but it does appear to be using the settings from it... which is all that matters.

 

There seems to be a better way now with Unitys own Coding Support Tool package for this:

Recently checked this out, the requirements for install result in more than a handful of other packages not working.
Soooooooooo ... anyone else w success? I know it's in preview ...
