I have a single-file module which I would like to add to my loading path. Previously in Julia 0.6, I had this in my ~/.bashrc: if [ -n "$JULIA_LOAD_PATH" ]; then export JULIA_LOAD_PATH=$MODULEPATH:${JULIA_LOAD_PATH} else export JULIA_LOAD_PATH=$MODULEPATH fi If I do this in Julia 1.0, I ca…

It’s unrelated to “single-file julia module”. [image] About "WARNING" in v0.7 New to Julia If there is an empty entry in LOAD_PATH it is replaced with the default load path which is what you want here.

Sorry, could you dumb it down for me? I have seen that answer and I still don’t understand how I can fix the behavior to work in 1.0.

The issue is that the default path is overwritten. You need to tell julia that you still want the default. You do this by putting “an empty entry in LOAD_PATH” (actually JULIA_LOAD_PATH). Entries are separated by : so just make sure you have an : at the beginning or end or a :: in the middle.

So I should just do this, right? if [ -n "$JULIA_LOAD_PATH" ]; then export JULIA_LOAD_PATH=$MODULEPATH:${JULIA_LOAD_PATH}: else export JULIA_LOAD_PATH=$MODULEPATH: fi This seems to work!

Both branches do the same thing, which is why the empty path expansion works the way it does. In other words you can just do: export JULIA_LOAD_PATH=“$MODULEPATH:$JULIA_LOAD_PATH” If JULIA_LOAD_PATH is already set it will get spliced in, if not then the default load path will get spliced in.
