Debugging broken

Hi,

since Unity 2021, Debugging seems to be broken.
If I hit Debug in VS 2015, I get a box asking for a running Unity Instance. There is nothing to choose from in the box.
Seems Unity cannot attach to VS anymore. Works fine in Unity 2018.4. Didn’t check other versions.

This may help you with intellisense and possibly other Visual Studio integration problems:

Sometimes the fix is as simple as doing Assets → Open C# Project from Unity. Other times it requires more.

Also, try update the VSCode package inside of Unity: Window → Package Manager → Search for Visual Studio Code Editor → Press the Update button

Also, this: No suggestions in Vscode

Thanks a lot. I’ll try.
Is this some reoccurring bug? I’m working with Unity Versions from 5.5 to 2021 for 5+ years now and don’t remember encountering this bug yet. So I thought it might be new in 2021.

Certainly seems to be.

For instance in 2017 it was impossible to attach the debugger if you used the GameSparks plugin.

At other times with various Windows updates, debugging has failed.

Even today our team even has an open ticket with Unity about an Android issue that they have been able to repro, so the fix is in the pipe.

yeah… my newest experience is:

  • closing VS
  • closing Unity
  • restart Unity
  • starting VS from MainMenu/Assets/Open C# project

This seems to be kind of reliable. But only if you previously tried to debug with no success.
