Hello,

I’m a new user of Julia and Visual Studio Code. They both have been installed today.

I’m getting an error message I don’t understand.  
Here is a screen capture of the error message:

 ![Error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/5/3/530e64ea7ce3b85e5df594b2dae0efaa1c272880.png)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Charles

> I’m trying to use vscode with Julia. I’ve got to running a test program (with or without debugging). It seems to work but I get this message: Error: there is no registered task type 'julia-proc'. Did you miss installing an extension that provides a corresponding task provider? Does anyone know what’s up with this? Can it be fixed? Is it to do with falling back on attaching rather than launching?
