ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package REPL does not have StyledStrings in its dependencies:
- Note that the following manifests in the load path were resolved with a different
julia version, which may be the cause of the error:
/home/nsajko/.vscode-oss/extensions/julialang.language-julia-insider-1.7.13-universal/scripts/environments/languageserver/fallback/Manifest.toml (v1.8.2)
- You may have a partially installed environment. Try `Pkg.instantiate()`
to ensure all packages in the environment are installed.

added StyledStrings as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.

Related to this Julia issue: [REPL does not have StyledStrings in its dependencies · Issue #53176 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/53176)
What’s a simple workaround?
EDIT: I tried deleting all VS Code-related directories on the file system and then trying again, and I also tried deleting the mentioned Manifest.toml. No luck.

Don’t use Julia nightly, or don’t use the language server… You are trying to use a combination that is not expected to work…

Not helpful, and BTW it usually works.

Won't be perfect because we still have to trigger it manually, but it should be fairly easy now to push out a build that supports the latest nightly build in terms of the environments we use.

Dear, Davidanthoff !
I have read your tutorial (“use nightly build for fallback env”).
I try my best but I still do not understand how to apply your tutorial wisely.
Thanks for very much for reading this reply.
I really hope there will be a simple solution that I can understand
because I’m really stupid!
Currently,
because of language and skill limitations
I am improving them.
I wish that one day soon
I will have more contributions.
Sincerely grateful to Julia’s development team and supportive community.
