Run and debug

When you open a Godot project, JetBrains Rider automatically creates run configurations that allow you to run and debug games for both C# and GDScript. Rider’s C# debugger adds a Current Scene item to the Variables and Watches tab and a Children node to every Godot.Node item, enhancing .NET debugging with access to scene variables.

Test and profile C# projects

Using the gdUnit4Net unit testing framework in your C# Godot project, you can leverage Rider’s extensive unit testing features. Easily create and run tests to verify the functionality and performance of your code, ensuring it meets your requirements and specifications. In addition to running and debugging unit tests, you can analyze test code coverage and profile test performance.

AI Assistant

Rider provides access to AI Assistant within the project context, making code suggestions more relevant. AI Assistant can generate commit messages and documentation comments, summarize team commits, simplify routine tasks, and explain how complicated prototype code actually works and help refactor it to production quality. AI Assistant can also help you learn game engine APIs or explain complex topics like physics and shaders.

Version Control and Local History tool windows

Rider offers a wealth of features tailored to specific languages and technologies, and comes with some extremely helpful additions like the Version Control and Local History tool windows.

C++ support

Rider's C++ support is compatible with Godot on all major operating systems, works with the MSVC, Clang, and GCC toolchains, and is integrated with the doctest testing framework. What's more, JetBrains dotTrace offers advanced profiling capabilities on Windows distributions.
