Describe the Issue

Do not deprecate Unity Debugger yet. C# DevKit is not ready. My work is now on a complete halt because I cant debug.

Projects

Thank you for your hard work! For now, have to rollback to old C#, otherwise excited to start using C# DevKit with Unity!

Steps To Reproduce

Problem 1: Can't start basic console app

1. Terminal sudo rm -r /usr/local/share/dotnet/
2. Uninstall all C# vscode extensions (C#, C# devkit, Unity, C# Intellisence etc).
3. Restart VSCode
4. Install net7.0 sdk from dotnet.microsoft.com
5. Terminal dotnet new console -o ./TestNet
6. Terminal code TestNet
7. Open Program.cs
8. Install recommended extensions.
9. Go to debug, press Generate C# Build Assets.
   Error: Could not locate .NET Core project in TestNet. Assets were not generated.

Problem 2: Project failed to load (cannot get intellisense prompt, cannot navigate, cannot launch, cannot debug)
Problem 1 upto step 8.
9. Follow C# Devkit quickstart guide except last step.

Install C# Dev Kit (The C# extension, the IntelliCode for C# Dev Kit, and the .NET Runtime Install Tool will automatically be installed)
Open a folder/workspace that contains a C# project (.csproj) and the extension will activate.

10. Restart VSCode.
11. Open .NET folder/workspace.
    Error: project failed to load. No error message.

Expected Behavior

No response

Any updates? My environment info is all identical and I'm getting the same problem & outputs. My Unity project was working just fine in Visual Studio Code last night, now C# appears to be entirely broken. Switching the Unity Preferences - External Script Editor to Visual Studio for Mac works, but simply not using VS Code isn't much of a solution if that's your preferred editor.

[jbevain]

Two things:

• Try updating the C# Dev Kit extension to the latest Preview: v0.4.2.
• The fact that it's telling you that 1 project failed to load makes me think there's a configuration issue.

In Unity's Package Manager (Windows -> Package Manager), make sure the Visual Studio Editor is updated to the version 2.0.20. This is the version of the package that knows how to work with Visual Studio Code (the old Visual Studio Code Editor package is published by Unity and they stopped supporting it).

In Unity's Preferences -> External Tools, make sure Visual Studio Code is selected as the External Editor, and do “Regenerate project files”. This will generate csproj files that the C# Dev Kit understands.

[JonathanTremblay]

I'm facing the same issue. I'm also running MacOS 10.15.7 Intel.
I tried all suggestions provided, but unfortunately, none of them resolved the issue. Here's what I've attempted:

• Updated the C# Dev Kit extension to its latest Preview version v0.4.2.
• Confirmed that the Visual Studio Editor package is at version 2.0.20.
• Removed the outdated Visual Studio Code Editor package.
• Double-checked that my Unity Preferences have Visual Studio Code (1.81.0) selected.
• Regenerated project files.

Naturally, I've already restarted my computer. Additionally, I manually deleted the .sln and .csproj files, hoping for a fresh start.

Any other ideas @jbevain?

By the way, it works well on my PC.

[AzuStar]

The problem affects unity but is fundamentally faulty.
When it comes to unity specifically, the new package 2.0.20 was working from the beginning as well as the new Unity extension in vscode, however, the unloaded projects in the solutions means that all unity and normal (even simple console apps) solutions fail to load and initialise C# language services (factoring, code navigation, type resolution, intellisense etc) do not function.
I mentioned Unity in the issue because Unity projects are affected.

all unity and normal (even simple console apps) solutions fail to load and initialise C# language services (factoring, code navigation, type resolution, intellisense etc) do not function.

Same here -- similar setup and versions as @JonathanTremblay:

• macOS 10.14.6 (Intel)
• C# 2.0.328
• C# Dev Kit v0.4.2
• VS Code 1.81.0
• Visual Studio Editor Unity pkg 2.0.20 (and removed pkg Visual Studio Code Editor)

Thanks MS team for looking at this -- we know you're working hard and get how important support is on VSC for macOS and Unity. Keep up the great work.

[drew-512]

Do not deprecate Unity Debugger yet. C# DevKit is not ready. My work is now on a complete halt because I cant debug.

Agree. I had to manually side load the prev version to get working again since VSC doesn't let you otherwise install a deprecated extension.

Possibly related on Stack Overflow:

• C# v2 language server not working in Visual Studio Code for Unity & macOS
• Autocomplete not working for C# in Visual Studio Code
• Visual Studio Code Mac, Intellisense c# works then refreshes and stops with some projects

I'm experiencing the same issues on one of my Macs that was was running Unity projects perfectly before.

For me in the C# Dev Kit - Test Explorer I get a strange error that makes it seem like its trying to load some .dll:

I have another Mac that is having no problems with the same configuration and my Windows machines can load the same project as well.

Please help with a fix for this as its ruined my productivity with Unity on this device.

Same issue on Mac Big Sur

Two questions to narrow this down:

1. Please confirm this issue still reproduces with the latest pre-release version of C# Dev Kit (version 0.4.5)
2. Are you on x64 or M1/M2 (ARM)? Which version of the .NET SDK do you have installed? If you're running on ARM do you have the ARM64 version of the .NET SDK installed? ([BUG] Solution explorer says "A compatible .Net SDK was not found" #194 )
3. Do you have any copy of .NET SDK installed through homebrew? ([BUG] "A compatible .NET SDK was not found" when opening workspace #120 )

[drew-512]

1. Please confirm this issue still reproduces with the latest pre-release version of C# Dev Kit (version 0.4.5)

I have updated to the latest MacOS version, that seemed to have solved the issue. I cannot help any more since the problem is effectively gone. This is not a solution however, because I had to use OpenCore Patcher to update through restriction since my Mac is no longer supported. Others may experience the same problem.
Either way for me the issue is gone, so I will be closing the issue since I can no longer be of any help.

[drew-512]

@AzuStar I get that your issue is addressed but there are many others here with this still open.

@Michael-Eng What path is best here to keep this issue being tracked for other setups?

[drew-512]

Apologies if this is ignorant, but I'm not even sure where/how to install runtime 7.0.100

I've looked and I cannot find any .NET runtime is that is larger than 7.0.10, or even marked 7.0.100 or above (other than 8). Can someone kindly divine the .NET versioning schema or bring some clarity to this for it make sense?

[JonathanTremblay]

⁠Thanks to the update of the C# extension (version 2.1.2) and the update of the C# Dev Kit extension (Pre-Release version 0.5.24) the problem is now solved on my Mac. 🙂
