Unity Visual Studio Code Integration

VSCode

Seamless Visual Studio Code Integration in Unity

Important for Visual Studio Code 0.7.2 and Below Users

In version 0.8.0, a directory structure change was made that moved where configuration files were stored by Visual Studio Code. Thusly, the plugin was updated to handle the new structure, however this means that people using versions of Visual Studio Code below 0.8.0 need to go back to a previous release of the [plugin] (https://github.com/dotBunny/VSCode/releases/tag/1.6.5), or they can update Visual Studio Code.

Installation

It is important to make sure that the VSCode.cs & SimpleJSON.cs are placed under the Assets/Plugins/Editor folder in the project.

The dependency on SimpleJSON will be removed in an upcoming version of Unity

Usage

Once the VSCode files are in place, simply navigate your way to the Assets | VS Code menu and select the Enable Integration option. A check mark will appear beside the option, indicating that its active.

That's it! Your ready to go!

Platform Support

I use the plugin every day on a Mac (so it's battle tested there), and occasionally test it on a Windows VM. As for the recently announced Linux support, it should work just like the Mac version. I'll get around to installing the Linux editor sometime in the near future.

The Windows version of Visual Studio Code currently does not support debugging Mono, and will just throw a warning if you try to do it. The "Code" team is aware of this limitation, and we'll leave it at that.
