How to include a module from a specific path directory in REPL of VS Code?

General Usage

I have a module called (SynchronousMachines) in this path directory (C:\Work\Julia\Simulation\SynchronousMachine), as seen below:

I need to include this module from the RELP (not main code) in VS code. For this I am writing the below code but I am having an error:

julia> include(".\\..\\SynchronousMachine\\SynchronousMachines.jl")

Any advice?

Why do you use a relative path?
Just use the full path:

include("C:\\Work\\Julia\\Simulation\\SynchronousMachine\\SynchronousMachines.jl")

If you want to use a relative path, you need to check

pwd()

to see where you are. Or you set your current path explicitly with:

cd("C:\\Work\\Julia\\Simulation\\SOME_PATH...")

I am using a relative path, because I am regularly sharing the folder of julia codes with my colleagues. So, avoiding the trouble of inserting different full paths on the REPLs of different computers.

I see.
I am not sure if you can expect that the current working directory after starting the REPL to be always the same for everybody.
I have e.g. a starting path in my startup.jl which is not the one a plain REPL starts with on windows.

Have a look at
https://github.com/GunnarFarneback/LocalRegistry.jl
this may be the solution for your use case.
