Quarto Julia CLI: Kernel died before replying to kernel_info

After a lot of fiddling, the reason for this error is that when IJulia installs the jupyter kernel, it sets the project path to default i.e. --project=@. in the C:\Users\julius\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\julia-1.10\kernel.json file

jupyter kernelspec list

julia-1.10             C:\Users\s\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\julia-1.10

We need to manually alter the file to change the project to the one we want as shown below. We have replaced --project=@. with --project=q

kernel.json

{
  "display_name": "Julia 1.10.0-DEV",
  "argv": [
    "c:\\julia110\\bin\\julia.exe",
    "-i",
    "--color=yes",
    "--project=q",
    "c:\\julia110\\.julia\\packages\\IJulia\\AQu2H\\src\\kernel.jl",
    "{connection_file}"
  ],
  "language": "julia",
  "env": {},
  "interrupt_mode": "message"
}

original kernel.json

{
  "display_name": "Julia 1.10.0-DEV",
  "argv": [
    "c:\\julia110\\bin\\julia.exe",
    "-i",
    "--color=yes",
    "--project=@.",
    "c:\\julia110\\.julia\\packages\\IJulia\\AQu2H\\src\\kernel.jl",
    "{connection_file}"
  ],
  "language": "julia",
  "env": {},
  "interrupt_mode": "message"
}

Now both quarto and jupyter are able to find IJulia.
