unity and autocomplete visual studio code

[wernergast]

Hi

I want to start with Unity but my autocomplete dont work. I think the problem is that I have 2 visual studio codes on my computer. In external script editor I only see visual studio code and not the version. Do someone now how I can fix it?

did you install the C# extension and NDK? also, in the external script editor, you can chose the browse version to select whichever VS code version you wanna use.

I followed the video and fix the problem, I didn’t know about the output in VS.
The error was something else.
Thanks.

The issue was this:
Could not locate MSBuild instance to register with OmniSharp

And this was the fix

I found another setting that will cause autocomplete to fail. This typically happens when starting a new Unity project.

In VS Code go to File → Preferences → Settings. There search for preferCSharpExtension. Make sure this is unchecked. If it’s checked your C# Dev Kit will be disabled and auto complete will not work.

It should look like this:
