Hello, I wanted give a try to VS Code, but on my setup (Julia 1.2, Ubuntu), I can’t get it working.

I did install VSCode using deb, then from VSCode I installed the Julia extension, but then when I try to evaluate anything from a file.jl I receive the following error:

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching setindex!(::String, ::Char, ::Int64)

“Terminal” seems instead to work.

ok, it was me trying to use SHFT+Enter instead of CTRL+Enter to evaluate code.
