uIntelliSense — Unity API Assistant

Here's a screenshot of the warning.

The top window is what appears after I click the button to install your plug-in (I already have it installed in VS2015 so it's not offered as an option).

After clicking "install" in the top window, the bottom dialog appears warning about compatibility and potential VS instability.

 

I got the same message, everything seems to be working fine so I'm pretty happy.

 

I tested today's update and can confirm that the warning message (when installing the extension to VS2017) is gone.

Great job! My favourite Unity asset.

 

I haven't even posted the changelog here, and you've already checked out the update Thanks!

Version 1.7.1.0:
Unity tool:

• Improved Unity 5.6 support.
• Fixed occasional error messages in console when Visual Studio Tools for Unity are used.

Visual Studio extension:

• Fixed warning about possible incompatibility when installing into Visual Studio 2017.
• uIntelliSense now requires Internet Explorer 9 or newer to be installed.

 

Hi,
How can i load the version for Unity 4.6.9? It seems that i have only access to the newest version on assetstore!
this is the error:

Error while importing package: Package has unknown format
UnityEditor.AssetStoreContext:OpenPackage(String)

Cheers Michael

 

Hm, that seems to be an issue on Asset Store side. I have no control on how packages are handled on different Unity version. I'll try to contact them, but meanwhile, please PM me with your invoice number and I'll send you the package manually.

 

Hi @ZimM,

I just updated to the latest Unity patch release: 5.6.1p1 and ran into an issue generating the uIntellisense Data.



Do you think this might be an issue with my PC or a bug in the new Unity?

 

Some things have changed in documentation format in 5.6.1p1. Fixed in uIntelliSense 1.7.1.1, should be live in a few minutes.

 

Awesome! I'll test the update in a few minutes.

Edit:

 

Just released uIntelliSense 1.7.1.2, fixes an error message in Scripting Reference window in VS when used on Unity 5.6.1p1.

 

Good news! uIntelliSense 1.7.2.0 with Unity 2017.1 support is now out. Enjoy.

Also, I've released a new asset a few days ago, and would like to announce it here

Hi @ZimM , would you consider adding JetBrains Rider IDE support? Would be great, since Unity 2017.1 now officially supports it

 

Basic documentation tooltips work in any .NET IDE, including Rider. I don't plan on porting the Visual Studio Extension, though, since that would basically mean writing the extension from scratch, and even then I am not sure if it would really be possible.

 

ok , i tried to contact via email but i got no answers ! is there any one to help me out ?

 

Hm, I've looked through my emails and found nothing about uIntelliSense recently. Perhaps your email was lost somehow?..
In any case, what question do you have?

 

i email you again now ! tell me if you don't receive it

 

Hi, I've received your email now, check your inbox.

 

Hi,

fist of all really nice asset which helps me a lot. Just wanted install it with Unity 2017.1.0p3 and I am getting the following error message:

I am using uIntellisense 1.7.2.0.

Edit: Tried to reinstall while starting Unity as administrator, but this failed also. Any idea?


Thanks!

 

Looks like something has changed in 2017.1.0p3. Thanks for reporting, I'll investigate it. What OS do you use?

Edit: just tried on Windows 10, it works fine for me :/

 

It works for me as well.

 

Thanks to both of you for testing it. I am running on windows 10. I will try it with a clean project.
Is there something in the error message what could help me finding the porblem (conflict with other assets)?

Other versions of your asset worked great so far. I will give it a try!

 

I guess you are in the wrong thread... This thread is about an asset that integrates intellisense into Visual Studio.

edit: Btw I got it to work normaly.

 

I was having the same problem as "Red2Blue" but tried using a new project and it worked fine. One thing you might want to examine - in my case the C# version was set to 4.6 and in a new one it's back at the default of 3.5. Could have something to do with it. I can't back out my project that's set to c# 4.6 to check this.

 

Since that time, I've released a fix for Unity 2017.1 support, and it should work fine now. What Unity version do you use? Unity 2017.2 is not currently supported due to massive changes on Unity side, but I'm working on the fix as well.

 

I am using 2017.2 . I was able to get UIntellisense to work by creating a new project, and leaving it on the default c# version. I didn't try it again with c# 4.6

So AFAIKT it works with 2017.2 but not when the C# version is changed to the admittedly experimental 4.6. Could have been something else in my (original) project that was messing things up.
HTH

 

hello,
any chance to see support for Visual Studio Code?
I'm on Mac OS and don't like the huge Visual Studio Community... it's slow and no themes support etc...
Also possible and awesome would be support for Sublime Text 3 ... to me the best IDE !
thx
M.

 

Documentation hints already work in Visual Studio Code. The Visual Studio extension won't be ported, because it would mean writing a totally new extension from scratch, and I don't think it's not worth the effort, since not a lot of people use VS Code. JetBrains Rider is more likely, if anything.

Visual Studio Community actually supports themes. There are 3 built-in themes, but you can install custom themes just fine:
https://scotch.io/bar-talk/best-vs-code-themes-of-2017

Sublime Text is not an IDE, it's a text editor. Sure, you can make it behave more like an IDE, but it won't ever be an actual IDE. Documentation hints still works, however:

Good news everyone!

uIntelliSense 1.8.0 update is now live on Asset Store!

Changelog:

@red2blue
Please try the latest version, your issue should be fixed.

 

no Themes in Visual Studio Community Mac OS X....
Only Light & Dark :-(
it takes more than 1.5 GB! installation space... and is bloody slow while stating... -> delete it !
Visual Studio Code is now my fav editor...
hope Unity will use it and replace Mono with it!!!
i heard some rumours 2018 will be great and hopefull it becomes true VS Code bundled with Unity !!!
than i'm back here and will ask you again!
M.

 

Hi, will this continue to be developed further? 2018, 2019? Considering a purchase and I'd like to know the roadmap.

 

It is an ongoing development and I have no plans on halting it. It already supports 2018 just fine.

 

Just a heads up, this doesn't work with the 2018.3 beta. I got an XML parsing error while generating documentation.

 

Hi, I'm facing nasty exception while migrating from 5.5.0p4 to 2018.2.14 on Windows (Android, .NET 4.x, IL2CPP)

Code (csharp):

1. System.NotSupportedException: The invoked member is not supported in a dynamic module.

How can I fix it?

This error is followed by another one:

@BlackDragonBE & @HotkangChen:

You're getting a parser error because the local documentation isn't installed.

Starting with the 2018.3 Unity versions, the documentation installer is no longer an option in the "Download Assistant" app.

The documentation is still an option if you install via the "Unity Hub" app.

You can also download the documentation installer from the here. It's the bottom item in the "Component Installers Windows" section.

I had this problem and fixed it by downloading and running the documentation installer from the above link.

 

Hi. Im using both 2017 and 2018. The one license per seat allows me to use it on both? Both versions are under the same email. Thanks a lot.

 

I've got an issue Generating the IntelliSense data under Unity 2018.3.1f1. The process fails and I get the bellow error message.



I definitely have the documentation installed.

Anybody else have this problem?

 

Yes I do too. Using 2018.3.0f2. I have installed the documentation and tried again with the same result as you, except my error says 'Line 1, Position 12789'

 

@ZimM, Please let us know if you are looking into this.

 

When can we expect a new update for latest Unity?

 

Bump for @ZimM Still having the XmlException listed above.

 

I think we've been ghosted.

 

@ZimM -- does this asset work with VS 2019, will you be updating?

// WildStyle

 

If the owner of this very useful tool is not updating it any more, maybe they could release it as an open source project.

 

Based on their complete lack of any response I doubt that will happen. It would be great though, I totally agree.

 

Ohhh I miss this tool soo much! If we had the source code we could fix it. Wish I knew how to decompile stuff.

 

i was wondering if this works with script inspector 3

 

This doesn't work at all. Do not purchase.

 

Just curious, how long ago was the last time they updated their product and what version of Visual Studio and Unity did you try to use it with? And when you say "doesn't work" do you mean that nothing shows up or it's causing errors or it won't install or something else?

I was trying to find a good solution for having detailed inline documentation in VS 2022 for Unity projects but can't seem to find any "official" support for it. Some Unity API stuff has the inline doc / hints, but some doesn't and the ones that do aren't always very helpful. What's really annoying is that there's no inline doc and hints for all the .NET/Mono libraries, so when you're using something in System.Whatever.Stuff namespace you get zero hints/documentation in IntelliSense, not even for commonly used stuff like List<T> or Dictionary<TKey, TValue> in System.Collections.Generics. That's kind of annoying because I can't always remember what every single overload of methods do, what the return value is supposed to be or how the parameters are used, so I have to open my browser and look it up in the Microsoft official C#/.NET documentation online. This is something that I'm determined to fix, even if I have to write my own tool to read existing XML documentation files or scrape the Microsoft and Unity documentation websites to build my own XML documentation file from scratch.

 

According to the asset store, the last update was published on July 23, 2018.

If you scroll up a little bit you'll find my post from January 11, 2019 stating that it does not work with Unity 2018.3.1f1.

Unless you find a prior post commenting on an older version of Unity, it probably works with 2018.2.x and prior.

It's impossible to say if it works with VS 2022.

It would be nice if @ZimM shared some info about this. In March of 2018 he posted that uIntelliSense was "an ongoing development and I have no plans on halting it."

I hope he considers open sourcing the code on GitHub so the community can investigate updating it.

Edit: After looking at some older posts, I think the last version of Unity this works with is 2017.x and the latest supported version of Visual Studio is VS 2017.
