If it’s all underlined red but you can execute the code in your file them something is majorly wrong on our (CSTParser) side. If you can narrow it down to a mwe I should be able to stick up a fix

This screenshot sums it up I think.
So I started with an empty file.
Added the `using` statements. Then the for loop and while typing it julia changed to be busy.
The problem message shows (I guess) that it went to busy after typing `f` and then got stuck there.

Are you sure you are running v0.8? Sometimes v0.7 sticks around.

If I click on `Reload` nothing changes therefore I suppose it is already working and just has some issues with the `beta`, correct?

No, it means it is not working. Go to your `.vscode/extensions` folder, deleta all `julialang*` folders and reinstall the beta.

Alright. Thanks it seems to work perfectly. Even if I get lots of errors because of JuMP variables.
x1 is undefined but it’s the normal declaration in JuMP.
```julia
@variable(m, 0 <= x1 <= 1.38629436111989)
```
Thanks again!

I took a look. Still not clear what the problem is, but you can display figures by calling `gcf()` in the REPL. I think for the v0.8.0 release that will have to be good enough, but I’m trying to figure out what we can do for the next release/more long term.

F12 - Jump to definition doesn’t seem to work. It worked once I can’t remember in which version.
Btw is there a way to get a list of all functions?

It works, but you have to initially wait for the language server to do its thing. So in the beginning it says `Julia Language Server is busy`, but after that it should work.

It says: Julia: ready but nothing is happening if I press F12
I restarted VS Code and after a long while it started to work again…

I don’t think you have the newest version of the extension. The newest version says only `Julia Language Server is busy` when it’s busy and nothing otherwise.

It does now. Maybe the reload after I installed via vsix didn’t work. Thanks. I’ll keep you updated if it stops working 😉

Beginners question: How do I launch a Julia terminal? In the moment I just launch a bash console and the start Julia. Is there a better way?

That’s what I do. On Windows 10: start git bash in the terminal, and then fire up julia.
That gives me a usable shell on Windows (which I’m not going to get with Julia started from CMD).
