Julia-vscode: IntelliSense stopped working completely

Created on 30 Jan 2019 · 21Comments · Source: julia-vscode/julia-vscode

Hi,

I just installed the extension, wrote one file and code IntelliSense was working fine, and then it stopped completely, it wouldn't even suggest println, nothing, other languages work fine.

I tried couple of workarounds, remove the plugin completely and reinstalled it, turned ls_debug_mode to true and restarted vscode, nothing is working.

Could you please help, thanks!

Same thing happened to me. maybe installing Julia 1.1.0 has something to do with this?
But using Julia 1.0.3 on julia-vscode doesn't seem to solve this issue.

Hi, I never had any other version than Julia 1.1.0, I'm new to it. But it used to work, and suddenly it stopped.

Things are broken on julia 1.1 right now, I'm afraid...

@davidanthoff thanks for clarifying this.

Same thing happened to me. The version of Julia is 1.1.0

For me as well. It was working on 1.0.3, then I swapped to 1.1.0, and everything stopped, and then I swapped back, and it doesn't seem to have recovered functionality.

You could try to delete the extension folder from the .vscode extensions folder, and reinstall it. I suspect something is messed up with the cache we create.

I may have found a solution. I deleted the. Julia folder in the document folder and restarted vscode. I think the reason for not working may be that I changed the default Julia 1.0 environment of the plug-in to 1.1 environment.

Thank you for your reply. I have found a solution. By the way, can this plug-in work in the Linux version of vscode? I didn't find the execution file in linux. My Linux distribution is Pop!_OS, based on Ubantu.

Yes, it should work on Linux! You might have to manually configure the path to your julia executable in the julia user setting of the VS Code settings.

Thank you. I've found the path to the executable file.

Can it be related to the name of "C:\Users\username\.julia\environmentsv1.1" directory? When I change it to "C:\Users\username\.julia\environmentsv1.1.0" it seems to work.

I second this solution. Updated Julia from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 and everything stopped working.
I just changed the folder name from "1.1" to "1.1.0" and it's working again.

That is very weird and I don't understand why that would make a difference, to be honest...

davidanthoff on 17 Feb 2019

The only problem with this solution is that Julia Pkg does not recognize the folder...

Hi, it stopped for me again. I'm on MacOS with Julia v1.1.0

I noticed that at the status bar says Julia env: v1.0, although I don't have it installed, now even when I change it to Julia env: v1.1 it doesn't work, I'm guessing something already went wrong when it didn't find v1.0 and the IntelliSense stopped working.

I tried to trick it with a symlink v1.0 to v1.1 without luck. I tried to trick it by renaming the environment folder to v1.0 or v1.1.0 again without luck.

Removing the extension and reinstalling it didn't work this time too.

I'm trying to look into the extension source code, hopefully I'll find something, if I do I will share it.

I don't think this is the extension fault anymore, today while I was debugging I noticed vscode status showing alert icon next to julia, when I hovered over it, it said, Julia language is not enabled.

I completely removed Julia and reinstalled it, and everything is back, and the IntelliSense started to work again.

So - steam out a little - Julia managed to add the reinstallation time to it's already JIT time for me to write and run my code, I hope something get fixed in the next release.

@davidanthoff feel free to close this issue if you think there is no workaround until Julia get fixed.

Unbelievable! it stopped again!

For some unknown reason, renaming the folder v1.1 to v1.1.1 solves the problem as mentioned above. However, better solution is to create a symbolic link to v1.1 and name it as v.1.1.1. That way all the installed packages and their dependencies remains intact.
