I misspoke, its “Output - Julia Language Server” you can see it
And then select “Tasks” in the dropdown for Julia Language Server.
Can you open an issue?
I have tried again, by just executing 1+1.
I can’t see any further message.
And this is the output of Pkg.status():

Can you select “Tasks” in the dropdown and see if “Julia Language Server” is there. If not, you may need to Ctrl-Enter on a line to start the Julia plugin process.
I am in a similar situation, and I can select “Julia Language Server” from the drop down menu where Tasks is also an option.
I get messages like:
[ Info: Started symbol server
[ Info: CSV not stored on disc
[ Info: DataFramesMeta not stored on disc
[ Info: Interact not stored on disc
What does this “not stored on disc” mean?
If I start Julia with
julia --project
and do
using CSV
This works fine, so it must be stored on disk, otherwise it could not be loaded.
It finished indexing for me after perhaps 20 minutes. With the older version of vscode it took about 2 minutes.
In the combobox that shows “Tasks”, can you select the entry “Julia Language Server”?
Not stored on disc means that it has yet to been indexed and cached by SymbolServer. This is only done once per package version, so the long wait is only done once.
Once it has been cached it will be fine. If it completes, it says “store set”. There does seem to be a fairly large slowdown in performance in the latest VSCode extension.
Thanks for the clarification! 
Where are the cached indexes stored? I mean, in which folder on Linux?
I have executed 1+1 with Ctrl+Enter
And also executed “using CSV”
And I get this Output under the “Julia Language Server” entry:

Maybe the problem was I didn’t know I had to wait for a long time.
Now it seems to work.
Will I need to wait again every time I start VSCode?
Well, it depends on the number of packages you are using. For me it takes about 20s until the Outline of a file is shown after starting vscode. Additional time for indexing is needed when you update or add packages.
Its in ~/.vscode-oss/extensions/julialang.language-julia-0.13.1/scripts/languageserver/packages/SymbolServer/store/
You may need to change the first folder depending on your install of VSCode.
Thanks! So now I can benchmark 0.12.3 against 0.13.1

First results:
0.13.1: 17:42 minutes
0.12.3: 01:33 minutes
→ time from launching vscode until the message “store set” appears.
Precondition: cache directory deleted.

Not that much.
How do you manage to have an older VS version? I would like to revert from 1.13.1 but it did the update automatically and I don’t see how to downgrade.
Click on “Extensions” on the left. There you should see Julia … Then there is a small tooth wheel at the bottom right of the Julia extension… If you click on it you can select “install another version”.
But the old extension doesn’t work with Julia 1.3, only with Julia 1.2…
Thanks. That did it but still no Intelisense back (“Go to definition” and so on).
Can you see the outline? Goto definition works for me, always if the definition is in the same file, otherwise it depends…
No, it no longer for Julia. It used to work across all files in the project. Like this example with a C workspace
Wow, that is bad!
