Vs code and julia unable to run julia applications via ctrlf5

If you are facing issues with running Julia applications via Ctrl+F5 in VS Code, there are a few different ways you can try to solve this problem. In this article, we will explore three possible solutions to help you get your Julia applications running smoothly.

Solution 1: Configure the Julia extension in VS Code

The first solution involves configuring the Julia extension in VS Code to ensure that it can properly run your Julia applications. Follow these steps:

1. Open VS Code and go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).
2. Search for the “Julia” extension and click on it to install it.
3. Once installed, click on the gear icon in the lower-left corner of the Extensions view to open the extension settings.
4. Scroll down to find the “Julia: Executable Path” setting and click on the “Edit in settings.json” link.
5. In the settings.json file, add the path to your Julia executable. For example, if you have Julia installed in the default location on Windows, the path would be “C:\Program Files\Julia-1.6.0\bin\julia.exe”.
6. Save the settings.json file and restart VS Code.

After following these steps, try running your Julia application again using Ctrl+F5 and see if the issue is resolved.

Solution 2: Use the Julia REPL

If the first solution didn’t work, you can try running your Julia application using the Julia REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) directly. Here’s how:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where your Julia application is located.
3. Run the command “julia” to start the Julia REPL.
4. Once in the Julia REPL, use the “include” function to load and run your Julia application. For example, if your application is in a file called “myapp.jl”, you can run “include(“myapp.jl””)””.
