Hi, I recently installed godot mono for mac os, I followed the closest tutorial I could find and made sure to install all of the appropriate extensions.
Once I set up my project and started coding however I noticed that it never gave me any errors (besides syntax). For example I can type "public bool f = 5;" with it not batting an eyelid or I can name classes that don't exist.

I'm not sure if this is normal and if so how do I fix it?
I also got an error from the OmniSharp log that I'm not sure if it is related, it reads something like this:

Godot version 3.3.3

straight-outta-log:

You need to install mono.

See that's what I thought so I followed the link it gave me:
"https://mono-project.com/download/"
still got the same error, also the godot wiki says I don't have to install mono independently for this version.
I'll install it again for good measure but I'm not sure, maybe it's some filepath weirdness

In settings also enable use global mono to always.

ah thankyou, that helped, although I noticed now that this doesn't support the latest c# version (it's using C# 7.3), is there any way to change this?

by (14 points)

Only keep dotnet3.1 installed and remove other versions.

ah ok, where and how do I remove the other versions?
