Setting Up VS Code for Interactive Julia Sessions

Wrapper Script for Module Loading

The Julia Extension of VS Code needs to run Julia, which requires loading the module.

Save the following wrapper script e.g. as $HOME/bin/julia_wrapper.sh and make it executable:

#!/bin/bash

## Making module command available
## ------------------------------------------------------------
export MODULEPATH=/opt/bwhpc/ul/modulefiles/Core:/opt/bwhpc/common/modulefiles/Core:/etc/modulefiles:/usr/share/modulefiles:/usr/share/modulefiles/Linux:/usr/share/modulefiles/Core:/usr/share/lmod/lmod/modulefiles/Core

source /usr/share/lmod/lmod/init/profile

## ------------------------------------------------------------

# Load julia
module load math/julia/1.11.3

# Pass on all arguments to julia
exec julia "${@}"

Next, we need to configure VSCode to use the script as Julia executable. You find the corresponding setting at File|Preferences|Settings → Tab “Remote” → Extensions|Julia → setting “Julia: Executable path“

Connect to Nodes

If you do note need much CPU ressources or memory. you can develop your code on the login nodes. If you however need more ressources, you must use an interactive job, see BwForCluster_JUSTUS_2_Slurm_HOWTO#How to submit an interactive job?.

1. proxy jump
2. SSH keys
