title: VS Code and Julia - Unable to run Julia applications via CTRL+F5
body: <p>I'm trying to get the Julia extension working in VS code. I can run Julia files via the REPL and I can debug Julia files in a new process. <em><strong>However I cannot run Julia files in a new process</strong></em>. In other words, whilst all other run options work, the circled option in the image below does not.</p>

  <p>What could be the reason for this?</p>
  <p>I am using the newest stable version of Julia (1.7.3), and VS code is fully updated. I am using version 1.6.28 of the Julia VS code extension. I am also using Windows 10. When using CRTL+F5 I get no feedback from VS code at all. Whilst a counter does appear in the Run and Debug pane, the runtime instance isn't displayed in the call stack until I run the file another way. For example, if I launch VS code and run a Julia file with &quot;Run File in New Process&quot; the run and debug pane looks as follows:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7W1EX.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7W1EX.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>If I then run the same program again with &quot;Debug File in New Process&quot;, the Run and Debug pane updates as follows:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LJSPw.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LJSPw.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>The only other weird behaviour I notice is when the Julia Language Server loads. I get the following output in the Julia Language Server:</p>
