Language server does not seem to be starting with the latest extension. I am on Julia 1.0.3 with extension version 0.12.1. For example if I try to select a code block I get

> Select code block only works once the Julia Language Server is ready.

I also don’t have intellisense or code navigation. What’s even more weird is that I am not getting errors of the language server crashing. It seems that it’s not even spinning up.

Actually realized that my “path to executable” was empty. When I add the correct path (and restarting vscode), I get "Couldn’t start client Julia Language Server’

Can it be [this issue](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/issues/828) (in short: you must have .julia/environments/v1.0 directory existing in the FS)?  
It would be also helpful to see what the logs say (under C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Code/logs IIRC).
