VS Code Intellisense for custom package

New to Julia

I’m developing a custom package which is located in some folder (other than .julia/packages/...). This package’s root folder added to JULIA_LOAD_PATH as:

export JULIA_LOAD_PATH=$HOME/local/packages:$JULIA_LOAD_PATH

It works as I expect, i.e. I can do using MyPackage in my scripts, but intellisense is not working in VS Code for my package as it works for standard packages.

How do I make my package visible to julia intellisense?

Thank you very much,

Not sure if there is a better way, but I solved it by adding my package to standard (in .julia) Project.toml with
] dev <path to package>

Hi,

I’m having the same issue. I tried dev_ing the package in both the global environment and the environment I use for my main project, and updating the LOAD_PATH in startup.jl, and neither of those worked. Is there some other way to get VS Code to recognize a package? The code runs just fine, it’s just the autocomplete etc. that doesn’t work.

Run command “Julia: Restart Language Server” and see if your package is indexed (in Language Server output). Also try to re-index.

Good idea, it seems like the problem is somewhere with the extension, here’s what I get:

When I searched for similar errors it seems like this has been a recurring bug that hasn’t yet been solved, unfortunately.

I finally tried deleting ~/.julia and reinstalling, that did the trick!
