julia

This VS Code extension provides support for the julia programming language.

Getting started

Once the extension is installed it needs to find the julia binary on your system. There are two options: if your julia binary is on the path and you have not configured something else, the extension will use that version of julia. Alternatively, you can set the julia.executablePath configuration setting to point to a julia binary, in which case the extension will always use that version of julia. To edit your configuration settings, execute the Preferences: Open User Settings command, and then make sure your user settings include the julia.executablePath setting. The format of the string should follow your platform specific conventions, and be aware that the backlash \ is the escape character in JSON, so you need to use \\ as the path separator character on Windows.

Note for MacOS Users

When setting your julia.executablePath, you need to make sure that you are linking to the correct executable within your julia-x.x.app folder. The correct executable is located at

[Path to applications folder]/Julia-x.x.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia

Note on auto-indentation

Starting from VS Code 1.14 auto indentation is available. Until it becomes the default behaviour, you need to enable this feature manually by setting editor.autoIndent: true in your User Settings (see also #37).
