I’m trying to use vscode with Julia. I’ve got to running a test program (with or without debugging). It seems to work but I get this message:

```julia
Error: there is no registered task type 'julia-proc'. Did you miss installing an extension that provides a corresponding task provider?

```

Does anyone know what’s up with this? Can it be fixed? Is it to do with falling back on attaching rather than launching?

I too have this same problem. I hope someone will answer.

This is filed as [an issue](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/issues/3168) in the repo for the extension, but there’s no explanation there yet.
