Support for Godot 4 + mono

OS/device including version:

Linux Manjaro KDE

Issue description:

I'm trying to use Vscode with Godot 4 + mono, but the options for C# doesnt appear as described in the README.MD

[raulsntos]

There are some changes in 4.0 that break the extension, so this issue is probably a duplicate of #38. But since for Godot 4.0 we plan to move to .NET 6.0 this will probably not be fixed.

I have a draft PR #39 that should fix the extension to work with the current master that still uses Mono but as I said it won't be merged, so as a workaround you can compile the extension yourself using my branch and it should work.

Do you think it would be feasible to finish this now that the Godot 4 beta has been released?

[timshannon]

@Seikho FWIW, I was able to use the microsoft / omnisharp c# extension fine for debugging, you just have to manually setup the config for it.

[Seikho]

Thanks @timshannon. Could you be able to provide an example of this for me?

[timshannon]

I always use attach personally, so that config is pretty straightforward:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Attach",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "attach"
        }
    ]
}

For any other setup where you are launching godot yourself, you'll need to point at wherever you keep your Godot instance.

Likewise, if you need to be able to debug immediately once the app starts, you can use the below launch.json file. Make sure you've setup a GODOT4 environment variable which points to Godot on your machine.

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    // For these launch configurations to work, you need to setup a GODOT4
    // environment variable. On mac or linux, this can be done by adding
    // the following to your .zshrc, .bashrc, or .bash_profile file:
    // export GODOT4="/Applications/Godot.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot"
    {
      "name": "Play",
      "type": "coreclr",
      "request": "launch",
      "preLaunchTask": "build",
      "program": "${env:GODOT4}",
      "args": [],
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "stopAtEntry": false,
    }
  ]
}

And the tasks.json file to build before each launch:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "build",
      "command": "dotnet",
      "type": "process",
      "args": [
        "build"
      ],
      "problemMatcher": "$msCompile",
      "presentation": {
        "echo": true,
        "reveal": "silent",
        "focus": false,
        "panel": "shared",
        "showReuseMessage": true,
        "clear": false
      }
    }
  ]
}

If you need more, I keep the most up-to-date versions that I use for VSCode here.

@timshannon You're not on Linux, right? Only the launch option worked for me on Linux. I couldn't get attach to work.

[timshannon]

@neikeq Yeah I'm on linux (Ubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.1 LT). Works fine for me.

[Seikho]

Thanks, @timshannon and @definitelyokay ! This works beautifully. Attach, Play and build all worked.
FWIW, I'm on Ubuntu 20 and 22 as well.

        "panel": "shared",
        "showReuseMessage": true,
        "clear": false
      }
    }
  ]
}

Thank you so much! I just tested this on my Windows 11 laptop and it worked like a charm! Debugging on VSCode is working with this config! The only thing I did differently was I did not use an environment variable for Godot 4 in the "program" field but rather just pasted the full path of the Godot 4 beta 3 executable I downloaded.

If I'm understanding correctly by using those configurations with coreclr mono is not needed on Linux anymore, correct?
