Compatability with julia-vscode?

[tbenst]

Since VScode is now the platform of choice for a Julia IDE/editor, it would be great to be able to use GLFW.jl and Makie.

Unfortunately, I receive the dreaded "ERROR: GLFWError (API_UNAVAILABLE): GLX: No GLXFBConfigs returned" message when attempting to run the following from within VSCode (eg the terminal):

using GLFW; window = GLFW.CreateWindow(640, 480, "GLFW.jl")

Any tips on successfully using GLFW with VScode? Many thanks!!

Ah, the issue in my case is my opengl .so files are on LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and so struck once again by julia-vscode/julia-vscode#1684. If I open VScode from terminal where the path is properly set, then this propagates, otherwise setting via ENV does nothing since used at julia init time

Edit: I was able to fix this by setting "julia.executablePath": "/home/tyler/.nix-profile/bin/julia"! This is what my system returns for which julia, but it seems that somehow julia-vscode was jumping straight to /nix/store/lqyhf3ympk18f41prmhaxd450xpmp8h9-julia-1.5.2/bin/julia, and dropping the key export statements.
