Better to have [the link to the direct bug issue](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/issues/785).  
Also because there you can have a sort of workaround:

- evaluate inline the readline command
- go to the terminal area of VSCODE
- type a space and enter a first time, and then the answer you want to give and enter again  
The answer should now accounted for in the readline call.

I know it’s pretty ugly, but it can help while developing an old-style script-based application, if then the “user” is not supposed to use VSCODE itself…
