Dependencies

  • vscode-unity-debug, which can be installed with vscode or built from source
  • optionally, if debugger won't attach, Mono (make sure that the mono executable is in the system's PATH environment variable)

Setup

  1. Add a new adapter in .gadgets.json, which can be found in /path/to/vimspector>/gadgets/<os>

    {
   "adapters":{
      ...

      "unity-debug":{
         "attach":{
            "pidSelect":"none"
         },
         "command":[
            "/path/to/vscode-unity-debug/UnityDebug"
         ],
         "configuration":{
            "name":"Unity Editor"
         },
         "name":"unity-debug"
      }
   }
}

  2. Add .vimspector.json configuration

    {
    "configurations": {
        "UnityDebug-Editor": {
            "adapter": "unity-debug",
            "configuration": {
                "request": "attach",
                "name": "Unity Editor"
            }
        }
    }
}

  3. Run the debugger!

Debug configuration

    • unity editor or Unity Editor
    • osx player or OSXPlayer
    • windows player or WindowsPlayer
    • linux player or LinuxPlayer
    • ios player or iPhonePlayer
    • android player or AndroidPlayer
