juliaup cannot detect release channel installation

[theEnigMata]

Hello,

Whenever I create a .jl file in VSCode, the Julia Extension always throws an error "Julia: Not Installed" and gives me the following output:

[juliaup] configured juliaup channel release is not available
[config]  'julia.exe' runs and resolves to 1.12.4
[config]  using 'julia.exe' (v1.12.4) as executable
[config]  'julia.exe' runs and resolves to 1.12.4
[config]  using 'julia.exe' (v1.12.4) as executable
[juliaup] release juliaup channel is not installed
!!! Julia was not found. Most extension features will be nonfunctional.

However, whenever I run juliaup add release into the command prompt, I always get the following readout

    Checking for new Julia versions
'release' is already installed.

I tried reinstalling Julia through Juliaup, and even tried reinstalling VSCode, however doing these did not help.

I installed the latest version of Juliaup, v.1.19.4. I appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks!

What values are the julia.executablePath, julia.languageServerExecutablePath, and julia.languageServerJuliaupChannel settings for set to? If you reset all of them to default, things should work.

Also try running juliaup api getconfig1 in a terminal and paste the output here, please.

Hello!

I have julia.executablePath, julia.languageServerExecutablePath, and julia.languageServerJuliaupChannel set to the default values and did not touch when I troubleshooted the problem on my own.

When I ran juliaup api getconfig1 in the terminal I get the following output:

{"DefaultChannel":{"Name":"release","File":"C:\\Users\\User\\.julia\\juliaup\\julia-1.12.4+0.x64.w64.mingw32\\bin\\julia.exe","Args":[],"Version":"1.12.4","Arch":"x64"},"OtherChannels":[]}

Also, if it helps, I have v.1.176.2 of VSCode's Julia Extension in my system.

Do you have any other Julia installations on your PATH? Also, please share the full logs in Output > Julia Executables after opening a fresh window and starting the Julia REPL.

I only have one installation of Julia in my path. Running juliaup status gives me this:

 Default  Channel  Version                   Update
----------------------------------------------------
       *  release  1.12.4+0.x64.w64.mingw32

Also, when I open a new VSCode window, Output > Julia Executables showed me

However, I can run the Julia REPL in VSCode's Terminal just fine. VSCode can see that I have installed Julia 1.12.4, as you can see in the image attached

Very weird. Try opening the dev tools with Ctrl-Shift-P -> "Toggle Developer Tools" and check the console there for errors from the Julia extension. If nothing shows up there, I can upload a extension build that should help us debug what's going on here.

[theEnigMata]

I think we're getting somewhere. I have attached a picture of the Console Tab of the Developer Tools windows showing the relevant errors.

Looking at it, I think the error might be caused by the fact that my Username in C:\Users\<Username> has two words (I masked them as black and white respectively). Could that have been the cause?

[pfitzseb]

Yeah, seems likely. I'll look into a fix for that. Thanks for helping with the debugging here!
