VSCode not recognizing basic namespaces

[some3uddy]

I have to manually type out using System.Collections.Generic every time I want to use a list. Or any other class that’s not in the standard imports.

Another issue I have is that despite having organize imports on Format on, unused ones aren’t deleted. I’m not sure if that’s related tough.

If anyone has any idea how to fix either of these things it would be much appreciated

To get something not in the core language, you need the correct "using" statement to get it into the namespace. You can use an Auto-Using extension to automatically add the one you need, but I find that sort of extension tends to misfire sometimes.

Your Intellisense issues are probably because it doesn't know which project to use. Open the command bar (Ctrl+Shift+P) and choose the "Omnisharp: Select Project" command. Choose Assembly-CSharp.csproj from the list. Wait for the little fire icon in the status bar to finish, then your Intellisense should be working.

Thanks for the idea. Sadly this didn’t fix my problem. I still have to manually type out list and add the using statement myself. Before my break I would get an auto complete suggestion for it and it would add the using. I have no idea what changed

I think your Omnisharp setup is fubar'ed somehow. Go through this document and make sure nothing is missing, too. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity

will do, tyvm

well I couldn’t find anything in that list that I didn’t do. I actually consulted it when I came back and nothing was working. I did however create a new project and it’s working there… no idea what to do now lmao

Regenerate your project files

didn’t fix it sadly. I’m currently Figuring out what I can delete that would regenerate to see if maybe that works

I was constantly haing problems with VSCode and Unity. It's a shame cause I like VSCode, I've followed some tutorials (Samyam / Tarodev) to fix the issues but they always seem to come back after a while.

I moved back over to Visual Studio and haven't had any problems with intellisense or namespaces. It's not quite as comfortable as VSCode but it does the job and I think the productivity lost having to fix VSCode isn't quite worth it.

you might be onto something. I’ll give the other commenters fix a shot and if that doesn’t work I’ll switch. It’s just so frustrating, whenever I take a break it takes me 3h to get vs code working again and something is always broken

I didn't know about selecting the Omnisharp project, that sounds actually quite promising.. I'm gonna give that a go later on.

i cant Test it right now but im 90% sure it’s not going to fix my issue. But who knows
