Dunno what’s going on there then. Which version of the extension/VSCode are you using?

In case you never solved this issue, or for those who have this issue in the future.

The problem with his filepath was that it is missing the “.exe” at the end.

“julia.executablePath”: “/home/onur/julia-1.5.4/bin/julia”

Should be:

“julia.executablePath”: “/home/onur/julia-1.5.4/bin/julia.exe”

Maybe. It depends on your platform setup. On a true Linux box, the exe should not be needed.
