How to use VSCode and REPL to write and test a package?

For that sort of debugging like workflow I often find Infiltrator.jl to be useful.

We do not ship Revise.jl out of the box, we just try to load it when it is available (this might change in the future, I got pretty far at some point with shipping it out of the box). I typically add Revise.jl to may main default v1.7 project. That project is always available, even if you activate another project because it is always in the LOAD_PATH. The VS Code extension will then automatically try to load it into the REPL (there is a config setting to control that).

Is this still true? Or has there been some update? Thanks!

We now ship Revise as part of the extension for the new test feature. We don’t (yet) use that bundled version of Revise in the REPL, that still depends on the user installing it manually.
