So I recently installed visual studio code and added the C# available extensions. I also installed the Unity Debugger but it won't work because "it depends on an unknown 'ms-vscode.csharp' extension", I tried searching for this 'ms-vscode.csharp'in the extensions bar but found nothing. whenever i open a C# file from Unity or from any folder it recommends me to install that uknown C# extensions. what can i do please? here is a picture of the message:
To manually install the correct c# extension, do the following:
code --install-extension .\csharp-1.21.12.vsixYou should see:
Installing extensions...
Extension 'csharp-1.21.12.vsix' was successfully installed.
Open VSCode and in the C# output window, you will see:
Installing C# dependencies...
Platform: win32, x86_64
Downloading package 'OmniSharp for Windows (.NET 4.6 / x64)' (32544 KB).................... Done!
Validating download...
Integrity Check succeeded.
Installing package 'OmniSharp for Windows (.NET 4.6 / x64)'
Errors should now have gone away.
That was a mistake by Microsoft. I just spent hours to solve the problem and noticed that actually the name of the plugin was recently changed, leading to the error. We can fix it by manually downloading a previous version of the plugin. Link:https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csharp&ssr=false#review-details
I don't do Unity development, but this may help: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity
Keep in mind that VSCode is only going to be an editor for your project files.
(Can't comment, apologies for the brief answer)
I delete [.vscode\extensions], swith to 1.21.1/February 2018 and then update to 1.42.1. It finally works fine!
Maybe System setup doesn't have the problem. It only occurs on User setup.
That error happens because microsoft changed marketplace publisher from ms-vscode to ms-dotnettools. Mentioned here on github. You can just install the version v1.21.18 and that should solve it.
