I’m using Julia Jupyter Notebook in Vscodium version 1.6 and the Variable View doesn’t seem to work, am I missing on something?

Make sure you select a kernel that says `Julia VS Code extension` instead of a Jupyter provided one.

These are the only kernels that appear, I already installed IJulia in the current environment, but nothing seem to change.

Oh, wait, you meant the Jupyter extension variable viewer. That doesn’t work with Julia (and I don’t think anyone has immediate plans of adding support for that).

The Julia extension has a Jupyter-less notebook mode (if you enable the `julia.notebookController` setting), which supports the normal Julia workspace pane.

Thank you very much,sorry to bother again, but where I find this .json to modify this setting?

Just hit `Ctrl-,` to open the VS Code settings and search for `julia notebook` or something like that.
