Play action should automatically cause "Save and Refresh"
Currently we have a Play/Edit action in Rider. But when you do some changes to code, you should first Save. This Save causes Refresh in Unity. Protocol connection to Unity may be lost for a while. And only after that you can finally call Play.
We need to do it all automatically on Play.
The same thing is required for Attach Debug and Play run configuration. Debug is calling Save, which causes Refresh, which brakes protocol connection for a short time and Play signal is lost during this short time.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-32754 The Unity Play button in Rider doesn't make Unity compile before starting. If changes were made to files, it should trigger Unity compilation before playing. To reproduce, set Unity to "Recompile After Finished Playing". Go to any script, type something and quickly hit the Unity Play button in Rider. It will play without considering the changes you just made. This is bad because the user has to make sure it finished compiling before hitting play.
May I ask what happened with this issue? For me really is the "Play" button in Rider useless, as I have to go to Unity to check the changes were compiled before starting Play mode anyway...
It seems that this issue concerns only very small amount of people. So it is not getting prioritized.
@ohin you may always hit Ctrl+S in Rider, it would cause Refresh in Unity, and then Play.
Thanks for you reply! I really wonder what is the workflow of others as it seems like, indeed, not many people are concerned :-)
I guess you understand the point, that I have to wait twice - press Ctrl+S (or switch to Unity to trigger recompile) -> wait until it compiles, then press Play -> wait until the game launches. I feel like weirdo now, being alone seeing this as an issue.
Thanks for listening though :-D
Agreed. Would be nice if there could be an option: "Save All and Compile before Play in Unity" or similar.
