Getting autocomplete working in any IDE on Ubuntu
Hi, I was wondering if anybody has managed to get autocomplete/intellisense working with Unity on Ubuntu, I've tried Visual Studio Code and MonoDevelop, neither work whatsoever. I've tried the myriad fixes like generating csproj files etc that I have managed to find but 99% of posts are talking about Windows. I don't mind switching IDE to something that works better on Linux.
Thanks
In VSCode. If you look in your output window and in the dropdown select OmniSharp. What does it say in the logs? It may be that you are running a different version of .net and its getting confused. It may have a suggestion on how to fix it.
Thanks for your reply, I am getting Failed to spawn 'dotnet --info'
after sucessfully downloading and installing .NET and OmniSharp some research has shown this means it's failing to start .NET, but the only solutions are for Windows, do you have any idea how to remedy this on Linux?
With further investigation, I installed the latest .NET SDK from $$anonymous$$icrosoft, and restarted, and I no longer get that error but Intellisense still doesn't work

Did you installed through Unity or on your own?
To get everything connected you have to install it through the UnityHub
Do you mean install VSCode through UnityHub, I'm not sure what you mean, you cannot do this. Thanks for the response anyway.

problem fixed here : https://youtu.be/7rgIgBkd3LA
I mentioned several times in the question that this problem is on Linux, not Windows. Visual Studio does not exist for Linux I am using VSCode, are you advertising your YouTube channel by any chance?
