If you run a file in VSCode, I think a new julia process is opened and the code run until it’s done and the julia process exits. When your code is done, the Makie window will just close again because there’s nothing keeping the process running and the window open. I guess there should be some kind of option to run a file such that afterwards it goes into interactive Repl mode. Or you include your code file from the repl instead of using the run file option from vscode.
