Hi everyone,
I’m having serious trouble using Revise in VSCode. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it doesn’t, and the behavior seems extremely inconsistent. I can’t figure out what’s going on.
I don’t even know where to start in explaining my issue, but I’ll try to be as clear as possible, though I realize this won’t be easy.
The setup:
- I have created a module that contains utility functions for my work.
- In the same directory, I have a script where I import this module.
- Revise is automatically loaded in the REPL from
startup.jl(I double-checked). - My expectation: when I modify an exported function in the module, the change should automatically be reflected when I call the function in the script.
The problem:
- At first, everything works great! I edit the module, run the script in the REPL, and the changes are applied automatically. Fantastic!
- Two days later, Revise randomly stops updating the imported functions. Or rather, sometimes it updates them once or twice, and then it just stops.
- I haven’t changed anything in my setup—no updates, no modifications that could have affected Revise’s behavior.
- Yes, all functions are properly exported from the module.
- I tried forcing a reload with
Revise.revise(). - I tried activating the environment before anything else.
- I searched this forum and tried every suggestion I found, but nothing worked.
I’m not looking for a specific bug fix since I can’t share my code. However, I’m curious if anyone has experienced something similar.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
