Hi everyone,
I’ve been working quite effectively by executing code on a remote vs code window. I enjoyed the fact that I can have a standard Julia file and run lines and get a plot window. However, since a few weeks this setup has basically become unusable and I don’t understand why. The language server seems to get stuck on “Starting Language Server” (even though it ends up at “initial lint complete”). The execution does work eventually, but it takes a while and then it’s intermittent: sometimes there is just a wait for the line to be executed (not because it takes long to compute). I was running everything on the latest release version through juliaup and the latest julia-vscode plugin. I purged everything (rm -rf .vscode-server .vscode .julia) and reinstalled everything, but nothing has changed.
Is this something anyone else is experiencing? I tried to find workarounds to still use vs code and execute code, but everything seems to rely on the julia-vscode plugin? Are there some good alternatives that combine JETLS.jl with something to execute lines of code?
Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated.
Hard to say what exactly is going on, but it’s likely because the LS is able to handle some pattern in your code (e.g. include loops). I’d recommend trying a version of the extension that is more than a couple of weeks old; if performance is fine with that, then it’s for sure an issue with the LS. Otherwise it’s still an issue with the LS, but one caused by changes to your code base 
Okay, I will do some digging in that direction to understand this better.
EDIT: Today VSCode updated and the problem solved itself. No idea what changed though!
