Hi, I’m seeing that in VS Code, ‘go to definition’ seems to be working inconsistently, and in the docstrings, instead of the package, it is showing e.g. ‘PLACEHOLDER/core.js’.

Any ideas on what’s causing this or how to fix it please?

Yes, I have the same problem, did you solve it?

Well, I just downloaded an vscode-insider version and then installed only a Julia extension. The problem no longer occurs.

Thanks. I see there have been several new versions of the extension in recent days. I tried the latest one, and it didn’t seem to fix it for me, but obviously the devs are busy so I will try again once things have settled down a bit.
