I was developing Unity projects using the C#, C# Dev Kit, and Unity extensions.
After C# and C# Dev Kit switched to Anysphere C#, the Unity extension no longer works with the new language server.
Please add support for Anysphere C# in the Unity extension.

I’m pinging @ravirahman so he can sort this out.
Hi, unfortunately the official unity extension is closed-source so it is not supported in Cursor. I would try using unity-tools.
Thank you for the quick response.
Does this mean that it is currently impossible to debug Unity projects in Cursor?
As far as I know, unity-tools depends on Debugger For Unity, which itself relies on the old C# extension.
Since the old C# extension is no longer available, unity-tools cannot provide debugging either.
If that’s the case, do you have any plans or intentions to support Unity debugging in Cursor in the future?
I believe many Unity developers would benefit from this feature.

We’ll need to look into this further, to see what would be required to support Unity. Unfortunately, I do not have an estimate yet for when we will have a unity extension available.
Thank you for your response.
As a Unity developer, it is unfortunate that the Official Unity Extension cannot be used.
For now, I have been able to debug Unity at runtime by using an extension called dotrush.
For other users facing the same issue, I would like to share this Reddit link:

Using the Anysphere C# and DotRush extensions together is impressive. This new combination is much lighter and more stable than using Microsoft’s C# and Unity extensions together, and it offers additional advantages.
In the Watch panel, you can view the values of outer stack variables when a breakpoint is hit.
Thank you for introducing me to DotRush! I highly recommend it, too.

I tried using Anysphere C# and DotRush together but got conflict notification from DotRush. Wonder if it’s necessary to remove Anysphere C# or can leave it there?
we need Unity Debugger in Cursor.
this was recently working and suddenly stopped working for me today. Huge hit to productivity

Hi all – thank you for sharing these issues.

@centhoang – does it work if you uninstall the Anysphere C#? As you noted, that notification comes from DotRush, so we do not control it.
we need Unity Debugger in Cursor.
@supercc168 – Are you referring to the “Debugger for Unity” extension? That should be available within Cursor. Are you running into an error when using it?

@vqt123 – What error are you running into (are you trying to use Anysphere C# and DotRush simultaneously?) It would be very helpful to understand what functionality each extension is missing, so we can make them work better together.
Thanks!
sorry, I was asking @coldlogic only 
I installed the DotRush first, and then the Anysphere C# extension, and everything worked fine. Before you install those extensions, make sure to uninstall the Microsoft C# extension.
@coldlogic I tried re-install them in your order, but after I re-open the workspace it got the noti again. These 3 extensions are the only C#-related on my side right now
i have install new unity debugger but need the unit plugin installed. it show not runnint with
Anysphere c#
If the extension is not failing to install but is instead displaying an error notification, you can probably ignore it. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon.

I have replaced this error with warring ([Fix] The C# extension is already installed #53 · JaneySprings/DotRush@be9c63f · GitHub).
… it’s still a strange scenario for me though.
This has been released and should already work somehow~.
And by the way, it only checks “ms-dotnettools.csharp”. There shouldn’t be any problems with other IDs.
As for Unity Debugger: It uses my own fork of the Mono debugger, which I created to work with MAUI (GitHub - JaneySprings/Mono.Debugger: Fork of the Mono debugger libs for .NET Meteor and DotRush). It should work pretty well with Unity. But Android/iOS debugging probably won’t work right now, but it won’t be difficult to add it, since I already have a bunch of tools for this from my old MAUI extension.
