VS code - files not opened from Unity

...
I had this problem for one of my projects on Windows 10. I tried restarting my computer and it didn't work. Then I restarted and installed a quick update for my computer and it's working now. Weird.

 

My solution to this problem is below and my environment is: win10 + u3d 2019.2.12f1.
1. open your unity editor and double click on one .cs file ( and of cource, vsCode didn't start and show code),
2. open your Windows TaskManager and force kill all Visual Studio Code processes, maybe some warning messages would appear and ignore it.Make sure all vscode process was killed.
3. try double click .cs file in unity editor, and it works in my pc.

I don't need repeat these operation, restart unity editor is still no problem with vsCode.

 

If you try open .cs file but he didnt open, you can try open VSCode and click any Recent project, maybe is help you

 

I've installed the plugin and didn't work. So what I did was see the Processes from windows and to my surprise, there were a few of Visual Studio Code. Finished them all, closed unity and voilá. It worked.

 

This worked for me right away after I tried everything else

 

So my VS code was working until I started my new project and I believe it is due to me having spaces in my directory path. Hope this simple fix works for you all.

Unity Version: 2019.2.11f1

G:\UnityFun\Classic Clashing (Didn't work)
G:\UnityFun\Classic-Clashing (Worked)

 

I do not use any plugin.

As I saw that several people have this proplem I wanted to share a simple solution that worked for me.



Just paste this into your External Script Editor Args after choosing Visual Studio Code:

Code (JavaScript):

1. . -n -g $(File):$(Line)

For people who want to know what this actually does:

. - takes the current directory as unity uses the project folder to open its internal cmd(or powershell I am not sure) it will point to your project folder perfect
-n - will always create a new window normally but this will not happen if it is a folder! by default vscode uses -r but it has a problem with unitys terminal session so the -n fixes this issue
-g - is a goto to open a file at specific line if line is not provided it will just open at start of file.

Sidenote:
Seems I only face this problem on mz windows10 machine it works fine on my mac without changing the parameters.

 

ps: just saw you can also use:

Code (JavaScript):

1. "$(ProjectPath)" -g "$(File)":$(Line):$(Column)

 

“ $（ProjectPath）” -g“ $（File）”：$（Line）：$（Column）
Ťhis is useful to me

 

Just uninstalled and reinstalled VS code ... it worked for me

 

Removing the "Visual Studio Code Editor" package also helped me. Now Unity opens VS when I click .cs files.

 

So what I did to fix this is I directly dragged the assets folder into vscode and then accessed my scripts from there

 

When I try to open the code, it doesnt give code. Instead, it just shows a picture of a paper. How can I get to the code?

 

does the file have .cs after it? and are you opening that script
