Hi,

Today I had the packages in Atom (v1.44.0) updated, and julia-client has been updated to 0.12.3.  
Also, I performed package update in Julia, seeing that the package Atom has been updated to 0.12.8.

However, after updating, Julia doesn’t start in Atom.

```julia
Press Enter to start Julia. 

Julia has exited.
Press Enter to start a new session.

Julia has exited.
Press Enter to start a new session.

```

I tried to uninstall julia-client, restart Atom, and re-install the package, but the problem has not been solved.

I am running Atom and Julia 1.3.1 in Windows 10.  
Does Anybody else experience the same problem?

FYI: Julia works well after I changed the boot mode to “External Terminal” . The problem occurs with “Basic” and “Cycler” modes.

I suspect that you don’t have the `exe` extension specified in the `Julia Path` setting. IIRC that worked previous to the update but now fails (basically silently) – we’ll have some more error handling code in the next release that triggers in that specific case.
