Julia packages not found in vs code

Question

I'm very new to vscode and have been using previously jupyter notebooks. The problem is that when I try to run julia in vs code, it doesn't find any of the packages that have been installed with jupyter. Do I have to reinstall everything or is there some way to fix this?

The julia code works, but not the packages.

Answer 1

1. Create a project in Julia REPL and activate it

in vs-code: install Julia extension, then ctr+shift+P, Julia: Start Repl

julia> cd("path/to/my/project/folder")
julia> pdw()
julia> ]
pkg> generate myProjectName
pkg> activate .
(myProjectName) pkg>
# hit backspace to go back to julia REPL promt

2. Install a package in the active project

You only need to do this once per package:

julia> ]
(myProjectName) pkg> add aPackageName

3. Check files

• path/to/my/project/folder/Manifest.toml
• path/to/my/project/folder/Project.toml

These files holds all package related infos for your project.

4. Organize Sourcecode

Suggestions:

• Put your *.jl source-files in a sub-folder, eg ./src.
• Have one module per file:

module MyModule1
    export function1, function2

    include("./MyModule2.jl")

    const A_CONSTANT_VALUE = "fooBar"

    function function1()
        MyModule2.function3()
        ...
    end

    function function2()
    ...
    end
...
end
