JuliaCon 2020 | Using VS Code for Julia development | David Anthoff

[@alleksandrs]

I spent 15 minutes to figure out how the author gets the input window where he types "julia repl" at the very beginning (1:55). Unfortunately he does not explain it at all and it is not possible to see which shortkeys he is using. It turned that that window is called "Command Palette" (View -> Command Palette), Ctrl+Shift+P.

I thought I was the only one. I spent about 15 mintuso too.

[@subukandaswamy4098]

I understand your difficulty. I think the author should have said that he assumes that the audience is already familiar to VScode. I already knew vscode, so it was quite obvious to me, whatever he was doing. For whomever reading this comment, if you are not already familiar with VSCode, please watch some 10 min quick intro video and come back here.

From 3:50 to 4:36, David demonstrates "in-line showing of evaluation results". If that's not working (as it wasn't for me) then you may have the wrong preferences set. To fix: F1 -> 'Preferences: Open Settings (UI)' -> 'Extensions' -> 'Julia' -> 'Execution:Result Type' -> either 'both' or 'inline'

[@ehdoom]

Thanks, sir.

[@krishnateja4688]

Big Thanks 👏

[@yosolonopuedo]

Beautiful. As a suggestion, I think Julia quality videos of real data analysis are needed on KZbin. You can find tones of these type of videos for R and Python, but you barely find them for Julia.

[@matteomaglio2805]

Tolle Präsentation, die mir viel Zeit gespart hat. Vielen Dank.

[@yosolonopuedo]

Is there any way for the autocompletion to show you the column names while you select the columns?

[@kristiantorres1080]

Amazing! Thank you so much for all the hard work that you've put into this extension.

[@yvesf4569]

I also spent 15 minutes to understand how to open a new folder "VSCODEDEMO" and to open a Julia REPL. Now I am stuck I cannot "activate ." Instead of (vsdedemocode) prompt I get a "Julia" prompt and the command "pkg" makes an error.

[@jonasmaugust]

Reminded me of the "mother of all demos". Very nice, thanks!

[@andrewminhnguyen9446]

Great presentation, David! Very smooth and informative. I especially appreciated the quick overview of remote VS Code capabilities at the end of the video.

at 5:24 u need the data preview extension to see the data in the new tab

why I can not see anything on the workspace? It is always blank.

For any one else who sees this just hit ] in the REPL command line and that will bring it up

p|> save ("foo.png") doesn't work for me, it says imageio writer error: neither save nor fileio_save is defined

[@KennethJohnsenDK]

Nice job. This was a very cool demo.

[@lucamonno4337]

Hi, inline result doesn't work for me, even with the option set as "both" in the settings. I read somewhere that I should use alt+enter to run the lines of code but it runs python code in jupyter with my settings. How can I set the alt+enter correctly in the keyboard shortcuts menu?

[@losiu998]

Hi, thanks for this great extension. I have one question about building sysimage of my environment in vsc. When I do that, Tasks-build ... I get sysimage with packages included in my project - that's ok but with that come all packages included in default Project.toml, where are all packages I installed on my computer. Compilation takes ages and sysimage is tremendously big due to the inclusion of unintended packages. How can I prevent or change behavior of creating sysimages (I don't see any option in vsc settings)?

[@LU5DX-1]

Simply amazing! Thank you so much.

[@yetanotherchannelyac1434]

This is fantastic. 🙏

[@kristiantorres1080]

@2:06 how can we add unregistered packages that are already installed (were previously added) outside this environment?

[@kristiantorres1080]

I found the answer, just specify the local directory in pkg> add /path/to/local/package/directory.

[@algebra5766]

Great video!

I am very pissed of when open source community gets on the microsoft products...Nothing comes good from microsoft imho.

[@MaterialFuture]

I agree, it sucks to see the open source community using software produced by M$. That said there is a fork of VSC called Codium which blocked access to the M$ bloat and removes the telemetry. Unfortunately most novices wont touch something like Vim or Emacs when something that does everything for them with little configuration.

[@Andres98394]

I cannot stand VS code or VS or Pycharm period. R Studio is awesome and convenient and easy to work with. If they can do something like that instead of cobbling Atom to something or Eclipse to something or VS code that would be really good. I don't want to be tied to M$ or use a heavy java app like Pycharm.
