Language server does not start on Mac OS due to permission error

Hi,

lately the language server is not starting at all for me. Julia itself works fine, and the error does not seem to depend on the environment. The output of the LS is as follows:

I’m on Mac OS 11.6.1, Julia 1.7: the log says that it uses the language extension version 1.5.5 because I tried downgrading, but the same thing happens on 1.5.6. Uninstalling and reinstalling the language extension. Any tips on what I could try next? It used to work a few days ago, I don’t know what happened.

sounds like an issue with your system.

danrocag · December 10, 2021, 2:10pm

I agree, everything points to a problem in my system. Reinstalling Julia, VS Code and restarting didn’t fix the problem.

Check the permissions of the directories document at Filesystem · The Julia Language

danrocag · December 13, 2021, 10:35am

Thank you, I was able to fix it by correcting the permissions of this folder.

(In case someone else gets this problem, you may need to do something like this )
