omnisharp-emacs

omnisharp-emacs is a port of the awesome omnisharp-roslyn server to the Emacs text editor. It provides IDE-like features for editing files in C# solutions in Emacs, provided by an OmniSharp server instance that works in the background.

Note that C# syntax highlighting and indenting is provided by csharp-mode which is a dependency of this package. See Configuration section below on how to enable omnsharp-mode via the csharp-mode hook.

This package is licensed under GNU General Public License version 3, or (at your option) any later version.

See omnisharp-emacs Features. Please note that information in the Features page is outdated and some commands are not ported to the new roslyn version of omnisharp-emacs yet.

Package Installation

This package requires Emacs 24.4 and above. It has been tested on Ubuntu, Windows 7+ and on macOS.

External Dependencies

You may need to have one or more of .NET SDKs (and mono – on UNIX platforms) installed for your project to be properly processed by omnisharp server.

Note that multiple .NET SDKs can be installed in parallel, too.

See:

Installation on Spacemacs

Add csharp layer to dotspacemacs-configuration-layers on your .spacemacs file. csharp-mode and omnisharp packages will get installed automatically for you on restart.

Installation on Regular Emacs

To install, use MELPA. After MELPA is configured correctly, use

M-x package-refresh-contents RET
M-x package-install RET omnisharp RET

to install.

When installing the omnisharp package package.el will also automatically pull in csharp-mode for you as well.

To automatically load omnisharp-emacs when editing csharp files, add something like this to csharp-mode-hook on your init.el:

(add-hook 'csharp-mode-hook 'omnisharp-mode)

For autocompletion via company mode you will also need this in your init.el:

(eval-after-load
 'company
 '(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-omnisharp))

Configuration

omnisharp-emacs will attempt to start a server automatically for you when opening a .cs file (if a server has not been started already). Otherwise, you will need to start the server with M-x omnisharp-start-omnisharp-server RET. should it fail to find a .sln file or project root (via projectile). The command will prompt you for a solution file or project root directory you want to work with.

You will probably want to create a custom configuration for omnisharp-emacs in your normal coding sessions. Usually all this customization goes in your custom csharp-mode-hook.

Here is a sample configuration script (that goes into your ~/.emacs.d/init.el or in your dotspacemacs/user-config() in ~/.spacemacs):

  (defun my-csharp-mode-setup ()
    (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
    (setq c-syntactic-indentation t)
    (c-set-style "ellemtel")
    (setq c-basic-offset 4)
    (setq truncate-lines t)
    (setq tab-width 4)
    (setq evil-shift-width 4)
    (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c") 'recompile))

  (add-hook 'csharp-mode-hook 'my-csharp-mode-setup t)

There is also an example configuration for evil-mode included in the project, please see doc/example-config-for-evil-mode.el.

Server Installation

This emacs package requires the omnisharp-roslyn server program. Emacs will manage connection to the server as a subprocess.

The easiest/default way to install the server is to invoke M-x omnisharp-install-server and follow instructions on minibufer.

If that fails (or you feel adventurous) please see installing omnisharp server on how to install the server manually.

Troubleshooting

Most of the time (if the server has been installed properly) you can diagnose issues by looking at the *omnisharp-log* buffer where omnisharp-emacs emits any log messages from the omnisharp server.

Missing .NET SDKs

You may find that your project can not be loaded when .NET SDK is not installed on your machine.

A log line indicating the problem would look like this on *omnisharp-log*:

[19:24:59] WARNING: Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.InvalidProjectFileException: The SDK 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk' specified could not be found. ...
