Thanks Dilmer!
In new edition of the debugger extension, they combined the run and debug icon together as I see. I was struggling to find the bug icon..
Actually I am surprised to see that we need to start the debugger as a separate process and start the game in Unity at the same time. Normally in generic programming, you would just run the program(the game) and the code falls onto the breakpoint automatically.

This extension has not been updated for over a year, and VSCode UI has changed a lot (v1.44.2). This tutorial is no longer useful.

Is it possible for VSCode to be attached to a Unity player instance? e.g. Runing a unity app on iOS/Android and debug in VSCode?

I don't have the debugger menu on the left. I'm on windows

Hey brother, really cool video, thanks for the help. However i have a problem while trying to use the debugger.


The thing is, in order to debug, i must initialize the debugger first and then start the game. But when i do that and i hit a breakpoint, Unity freezes and doesn't works until i stop the debugger. Any idea how can i possibly fix this?

having trouble with hovering while running. I just installed vs code today, restarted the application after installing Unity Debugger extension, but running it won't show me values whenever I hover over the codes. Any suggestions?

Question: How to debug a Unity->Android application with VSCode. I mean the application is built for Android, how to debug while application is running in a real android device (with USB connected to laptop) ?
