The type or namespace name "Cinemachine" could not be found

Hi!

I'm using Unity 2019.3.7f1 and VScode as my IDE. I have downloaded Cinemachine via Package Manager but when I try to use Cinemachine in one of my scripts I get the following error:

Code (CSharp):

1. using Cinemachine;

Code (CSharp):

1. The type or namespace name 'Cinemachine' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) [Assembly-CSharp]csharp(CS0246)

Thank you in advance!

 

You've probably got another compile error you need to fix first.

 

I have no errors in Unity, the only issue is I can't use Cinemachine.

 

I have the same issue using Rider, I've tried deleting all the .sln and .csproj files but nothing helps any ideas?

Also tried removing and adding Cinemachine from the package manager.

There are no Compile errors and if I start a brand new project everything works

 

I also have the same - Visual Studio Code gives errors. However, in Unity it works so I can still use it. VS Code underlines it as red. Usually with something like this, recreating project files from Unity settings helps. If this doesn't help, you can close Unity and delete the Library folder inside Unity. This will cause a full reimport, but might help. In general, I find VS Code loses the connection to Unity a LOT (debugger doesn't always connect, I get similar errors as you, so there's most definitely a lot to improve there). Resetting solutions often helps, closing VS Code and Unity and starting Unity fresh.

 

As others note, based on the above description, this is almost certainly just an Intellisense issue.

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.

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