Difficulty adding Visual Studio to External Tools in Unity

Time:01-28

Gonna start this off with Ive never programed before, and just started a tutorial thats on youtube today. In the tutorial, they have you download Visual Studio and add it to External Tools. So I downloaded the one that said it was for Unity, and tried to add it.

It shows Visual Studio Community 2022 [17.0.5] and Visual Studio 2022. When I selected one, I got some sort of yellow text warning at the bottom of my screen that says "Visual Studio Editor Package version 2.0.14 is available, we strongly encourage you to update from the Unity Package Manager for a better Visual Studio Intergration"

So I went and did that, and now it says "visual Studio Editor v2.0.14 enabled" under the selection but the warning text wont go away. I dont even know which of these two visual studio options Im supposd to select.

Also, when I go to the Unity Package Manager folder, I cannot find that Visual Studio Editor 2.0.14 in there anywhere, which confuses me further if thats what Im supposd to select.

so now Im just very confused and not sure if Im doing it right or not. I do not know what I do not know. I asked for help and got re-directed to this website, and Ive already looked online for help and couldn't find it. (or Im bad at looking, who knows)

I hate to offer a "solution" that doesnt solve the problem but notepad is pretty lightweight if youd like to give that a shot.

Also I seem to remember some grief with it, try to reboot and make sure everything is installed completely.

CodePudding user response:

  1. You can try to reinstall vscode from here
  2. You can read this and try it
  3. You can uninstall all of the things you installed and re-install, ignoring the "warning text"
