Question Visual Studio Code setup for Unity development on Linux

Hi everyone!
I was trying to use `vim` for writing unity C#, but it is rather uneffective method, so I decided to start using Visual Studio Code.
So first lets note that I'm working on Linux (Fedora 34). After installing vscode, I dwonloaded a couple of extensions (especially Unity Dev Pack) and installed dotnet-sdk and here appears my problem:
sadly, my instance of Visual Studio Code doesn't want to automatically complete my `using`s on top of c# file and auto-coplete feature doesn't work as expected too.

 

You propably dont need the unity dev pack extension. I recently set up VSCode for Unity in Linux, i just installed the c# Extension for VSCode (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csharp)
and dotnet/mono (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptingToolsIDEs.html)

After the installation make sure you have VSCode selected under "Edit->Preferences->External Tools" and
try Restarting Unity and/or click on "Assets->Open C# Project"

 

Yes, c# extension is a must for any c# project, unity included.

Also intellisense may not work in vscode on linux when your project has both VS Code integration and Rider integration, which can be a pain if anyone in the team using rider and you cannot just delete the package. Deleting Rider-related DLL from Library folder before opening unit project in VS Code helps in that case.

I don't push Library folder to git at all. They are present in unity-specific .gitignore

 

Ok, I was able to make it working for me.
Here is list of steps to make vscode working with unity on Fedora34:
- uninstall all dotnet and mono related stuff
- install the following:
```
sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-5.0.x86_64 dotnet-sdk-3.1.x86_64
sudo dnf install mono-complete mono-devel
```
- disable all `Unity Dev Pack` extensions
- enable C# extension
- add this to your config:
` "omnisharp.useGlobalMono": "always",`
- restart vscode
C# features should work at this point fine.
you can also try to enable some of other unity dev pack components, however they might cause OmniSharp crashes, I haven't identified yet.

 

oh, @nrader95 I see what you mean XD.
rider libraries really makes my omnisharp crashes so I removed them and everyghing works now

 

meh, does anyone have any idea to prevent unity from creating these files???
