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:
```julia
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 `

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:
```julia
Warning: Some Julia code in the VS Code extension crashed with

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!
