Visual Studio cannot find unity namespaces

Hello,

I've updated (without thinking) into the newest version of Visual Studio on my mac and now VS cannot find the unity namespaces so I can't use any of them. Older projects I created before updating work fine and VS intellisense is working correctly.

However, whatever new project I build, whether on 2019.3.7f1 or 2019.3.8f1 versions of Unity, VS cannot find the namespaces and I can't use it properly as the external editor.

The solution I have tried that did not work is removing all the csproj as well as the sln files and having unity rebuild them (by checking the appropriate boxes in Unity preferences). Unfortunately, the problem persists.

I want to get back to using VS properly with Unity, and will be careful in the future about not updating VS too hastily, however I still need to find a solution to my current predicament.

Any help would be much much appreciated.

Thank you
Dogan

 

Hello, I just updated to Unity 2019.3.12 from an earlier 2019.3 version a few hours ago and I am having a similar problem. Visual Studio can recognize the UnityEngine namespace but not some of my other namespaces from the asset store. I tried removing the Visual Studio Code Editor Package but that hasn't helped. Is there anything else I can do? I have made a new project, same problem. Switched from VS 2017 to VS 2019, same problem.

I also tried this to no avail: https://answers.unity.com/questions/1697513/vs-code-does-not-find-some-classes-cs0246cs0103.html

Update: I downgraded my test project to 2019.2.11 and the problem no longer happens. Is there any way I can keep 2019.3 without this issue?

 

Alright, have downgraded to 2019.3.11. Thanks for the link
