I’m trying to get the custom sysimage feature to work. In the v0.12.0 beta relase notes (this is the only thing that comes up when I search for custom sysimage on the vscode extension topic) davidanthoff says:
“Overall this makes for a pretty smooth workflow: you can easily, with one command, compile a custom sysimage for a julia environment, and then any REPLs you start with that active environment will automatically use that sysimage.”
I’ve added “julia.useCustomSysimage”: true, to my settings.json file but this by itself does not get the sysimage compiled. What is the one command you are supposed to execute to make this happen? I looked in the command palete menu for everything beginning with Julia: and didn’t see anything that looked relevant.
phlavenk’s suggestion worked beautifully. The only thing I would add is to make sure that Revise has been added to your root Julia environment. Probably should have this anyway but I didn’t and got an error message when I tried to load the sysimage.
It is so great not to wait over a minute for my packages to load every time I restart the REPL. Essentially instant now. Fabulous feature.

If I have my own generated and custom sysimage for a specific project only sysimage_plots_precompile.dylib, and I want to add it into the tasks.json. What is the command for that to be included?
