I'm using Visual Studio with Unity. In general in VS I can simply click "Attach to Unity" and it will build the solution and indeed attach to Unity. Sometimes, however, a project loses the "ability" to do so, what means that suddenly clicking the button will only build the solution and not attach to Unity.
I really would like to know what's happening there as I'm not aware of doing anything that could result in such a behaviour.

There are some parameters that might have an effect:

• it happens only for some Unity projects: a project is either "infected" or it happens never (on my watch)


• if it starts happening it will always happen until I reboot the PC (closing VS and Unity is not enough)

Thank you

Normally just restarting visual studio is sufficient, this issue was addressed and fixed by MS in VS around early december. Previously it happened each time you made a new script file.

Make sure you have installed the latest visual studio patch, as well as the "visual studio tools for unity"

I had a similar issue, underneath the file tabs does it say miscellaneous files? To fix it I right clicked the Assembly C-Sharp in the solution explorer and rebuilt the project as shown in the picture.
