REPL in VS Code does not start in the project's environment anymore

Tooling VS Code
1

I’ve noticed this only recently, I don’t know the reason. Until now, when I started a Julia REPL (e.g. Alt+J, Alt+O) the active environment was the one selected by the extension (as seen in “Julia env” in the lower bar). Now it always starts in the default environment (e.g. @v1.10.0).

Has anyone else noticed this?

I’m running VS Code 1.91.1 with Julia extension v1.103.2 on Windows. The first lines of the Julia Language Server output are:

[ Info: Starting LS with Julia 1.10.0
  Activating project at `[path-edited]\.vscode\extensions\julialang.language-julia-1.103.2\scripts\environments\languageserver\v1.10`

This issue is known and, if you switch to the prerelease version of the extension, should be fixed. See e.g. The environment is not set · Issue #3661 · julia-vscode/julia-vscode · GitHub
