The new version of vscode Julia extension does not pick up the julia.exe in the path, but rather insists on using juliaup to install (some version of) it. Not very nice. I mean, I have the whole thing set up with a place for the depot etc. and that goes out the window. I am not sure where to inquire…

Although I understand your frustration, I don’t understand why some people are against juliaup. I have read some thread about this and the supposed difficulty of installing julia on Windows. To me, downloading the Julia installer, creating an environment variable to access julia everywhere or downl…

This should only be happening if the julia.executablePath setting is completely empty. In that case we nudge you towards either using juliaup or explicitly referencing a binary there (including a simple julia or julia.exe).

[image] Maucejo: Although I understand your frustration, I don’t understand why some people are against juliaup. Other than the reasons mentioned by Roy, I’ll add, I want to stay with Julia 1.10 and I don’t want to fight with the system to be able to do that.

Putting julia/julia.exe into the julia.executablePath setting should fully recover the previous behaviour. If it doesn’t, open an issue. I get that changes in default behaviour are annoying, but this is fixable with a click and five keystrokes starting from the modal popup. That said, …

Thanks for considering an easier way of keeping the old behaviour! [image] The option to configure the path is indeed here. But the default is juliaup. (Since, in my case, julia.exe IS on the PATH at this point, the dialog is really unnecessary, it would seem?) Don’t get me wrong, I think juli…

Btw: some logic must have changed. I don’t see the button in the status bar that used to indicate that the LS was aware of the current environment. In fact the LS hover help that used to work does not work anymore (e.g. LinearAlgebra functions are not recognized). [image] I did [image] but [im…

Yes, that and my strange stubbornness that in my computer I like to decide where software is installed. And I hate software installed under hidden directories.
