Getting .NET Core SDK not located error when I open a script in VS Code in Unity3D. All solutions on Google only work for Windows and not Ubuntu 20.04
The .NET Core SDK cannot be located. .NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure the .NET Core SDK is installed and is on the path.
This is what the popup screen looks like in VSCode
That's the popup I get at the bottom right whenever I open a .cs script in VSCode inside Unity3D. It doesn't interfere with the code completion or the execution of the program but I can't understand why I am getting this error since I followed the steps here to install dotnet on Ubuntu 20.04. I also installed mono-complete by executing the following command in console:
sudo apt install mono-completeBut still VSCode inside Unity3D can't seem to locate dotnet SDK. I can confirm that dotnet SDK is installed on my system because whenever I check the version of dotnet SDK, I get the following:
muhammadmehdi@IITPAVISLW100:~$ dotnet --list-sdks
5.0.201 [/snap/dotnet-sdk/116/sdk]
muhammadmehdi@IITPAVISLW100:~$And I also checked this inside the VSCode terminal:
muhammadmehdi@IITPAVISLW100:~/ellipsoid_visualization$ dotnet --list-sdks
5.0.201 [/snap/dotnet-sdk/116/sdk]
muhammadmehdi@IITPAVISLW100:~/ellipsoid_visualization$So, it seems to be recognized inside the VSCode terminal but then why am I getting that popu message? I have also tried this but no luck.
EDIT: I added the following to my bashrc
export DOTNET_ROOT=/snap/dotnet-sdk/currentStill getting the same popup. Is VSCode looking for dotnet SDK some place else? If so, where is VSCode looking for it?

A reboot should do the charm. However, there are a few issues with snap installation. Installing dotnet through APT worked for me without a reboot. Dotnet SDK Ubuntu
