[SOLVED] VSCode Intellisense for Unity not working on Arch Linux

Intellisense autocompletion for Unity components like RigidBody2D wasn't working in VSCode. I went down a chain of threads and eventually got it working. Here are the steps I followed.

1. Install dotnet-runtime and dotnet-sdk.

$ pacman -S dotnet-runtime dotnet-sdk

2. Install mono and msbuild

$ pacman -S mono msbuild

3. Change VSCode extension setting Omnisharp: Use Global Mono to Always:

File > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > C# Configuration

4. Add to VSCode settings.json "omnisharp.path": "latest"

{
  // put the following anywhere in settings.json
  "omnisharp.path": "latest",
  "omnisharp.useGlobalMono": "always" // a result of / another way to do step 3.
}

4. Reinstall the C# extension and restart machine for full measure (maybe unnecessary).

Thanks for the post but the forums aren't the correct place for guides and how-to's.

Please consider adding this information to the wiki instead where it can be more easily found and updated.
