I know that there is an issue for this already [failing to precompile VSCodeServer on nightly: `LoadError: UndefVarError: Slot not defined` · Issue #3223 · julia-vscode/julia-vscode · GitHub](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/issues/3223)

But has anyone managed to find the workaround for this yet?

The workaround that seems to work for me is

```julia
cd ~/.vscode/extensions/julialang.language-julia-1.41.1/scripts/packages
rm -rf JuliaInterpreter
git clone git@github.com:JuliaDebug/JuliaInterpreter.jl.git ./JuliaInterpreter/

```
