VSCode package autocompletion doesnt work if package is not declared in that cell

Tooling VS Code

Im new to julia coming from python. I wanted to do some analysis so i add some packages in jupyter notebook.

using Pkg
Pkg.activate(".")
Pkg.add(["IJulia", "DataFrames", "CSV", "CairoMakie", "StatsBase", 
         "Statistics", "MLJ", "MLJModels", "HypothesisTests", 
         "Distributions", "Missings", "CategoricalArrays", "AlgebraOfGraphics", "Chain"])

After that i import the modules, in this point the server is working fine

import IJulia
import DataFrames as DF
import CSV
import CairoMakie as Makie
import AlgebraOfGraphics as AoG
import Statistics as Stats
import StatsBase
import Chain: @chain
import Random: shuffle

DF.DataFrame -> hover to see hint

when i select or hover the hint in DF.Dataframe a message is displayed correctly:

DF.DataFrame:
An AbstractDataFrame that stores a set of named columns.

The columns are normally AbstractVectors stored in memory, particularly a Vector, PooledVector or CategoricalVector.

Constructors
DataFrame(pairs::Pair...; makeunique::Bool=false, copycols::Bool=true)

Keyword arguments, etc..

But the server seem to work only if the import declaration is in that cell, for example after this cell i try to add the same line and i hope to see the autocomplete hints. however…

As you see the hints are not working anymore, I have to import it again so the message is displayed.

import DataFrames as DF

DF.DataFrame: -> This displays the correct information when hovered

The problem persist if im using the “import” declaration or “using” declaration.
Im using julia 1.11.5 and the server that is creating in that folder

I can make the project without the hints but they would be useful and they are one of the main reasons im trying julia.
If anybody has experience this and was able to solve it (as i say im new to julia) i would be very grateful

i solve it using “Quarto”, it was a great tool i found, anyways i thought the julia static type inference ecosystem was more robust so its not really a big deal the type hint you can access
