EDITED: I was able to narrow down the problem a bit.
I recently updated Julia to v1.9.0-beta4. Previously I was on v1.8.2. I have been using v1.41.1 Pre-Release of the Julia VSCode extension.
After updating Julia versions, I’m getting a strange behavior with Shift+Enter to run selected code in active terminal.
If I have using DataFrames \n using CSV in a file, highlight both lines, and hit Shift+Enter, my terminal looks like this:
julia>
#87using DataFrames
It hangs on that #87using DataFrames line forever. If I click into the terminal and hit enter, it pops down to a new line and allows me to use the REPL. But DataFrames isn’t active
julia>
#87using DataFrames
julia> DataFrames
ERROR: UndefVarError: `DataFrames` not defined
If I run each line separately whether I highlight all or part of the line or just shift enter to run that line, it works. I still get the weird #87 in front of each line, but the code executes correctly.
It also hangs/does not execute anything for any multiline blocks that are sent to the terminal with Shift+Enter even with no highlighting.This is not limited to using statements.
# In the file
begin
a = 5+5
end
# Shift+Enter
# In the terminal
#87begin
julia>
julia> a
ERROR: UndefVarError: `a` not defined
