Hi All
has anyone on Linux tried to use visual studio code with Unity. I’m trying right now, added the unity debugger ect, I can start the debugger and it says I’ve connected to the unity process. However I can’t set breakpoints. I’m clicking on the left of the line number, on the line number ect but nothing. Is there something wrong with vsc or do I need to do something to get breakpoints working. I’ve googled but can’t see any solutions. Thanks

Hi
I’ve solved it. By default ( I don’t know why ) the debugger was set to c++. If you look down the lower right side bottom bar it says “c++” change this to c#. You need to do it for every file :s I can’t see any way of making c# default

I Never had any issues with code and unity on Linux. Do you use c++in general?
I only used c# plugins in code, so maybe that is the reason why I never encountered any problems

Yes I use c++ everyday i work, but I normally don’t use vsc as an editor or debugger. Still can work out why it associates .cs with c++. Maybe I’ve accidentally set something, but can’t for the life figure out why
