Cannot access some members of LineRenderer

I have a line renderer component on a prefab, and would like to be able to add positions to this line renderer in script.

I thought I would be able to simply append LineRenderer.positionCount to add a point to the list, which the unity documentation appears to suggest. I've also seen this suggested when I've tried to search for a solution.

However, when I try this I get a compile error, saying that positionCount doesn't exist:

'LineRenderer' does not contain a definition for 'positionCount' and no extension method 'positionCount' accepting a first argument of type 'LineRenderer' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The same is true if I try to use LineRenderer.GetPositions() or even if I try to just access LineRenderer.positions directly, they don't appear to exist.

As you can see hear these properties and methods don't appear in Visual Studio when I try to access them. All that's visible when searching position are SetPosition() and SetPositions().

No Properties :(

So what am I doing wrong here, and how do I access these properties?

The only thing I can see is you may be using an ancient version of Unity:

Before Unity 5.5, the only members of LineRenderer containing "position" in their name are SetPosition and SetPositions, see the legacy doc of 5.4.

Although I would find it surprising, if you were to be on such a version, it would be in your best interest to upgrade asap as possible.
