Created package is not defiened with using PkgTemplates

New to Julia

Hi,
I tried to create a simple package using PkgTemplates package. I used this template on invenia website to create my package:

t = Template(;
    user="Amirrezz94",
    dir="C:\\Users\\Amirr\\.julia\\dev",
    authors="Amir",
    julia=v"1.5.3",
    plugins=[
        License(; name="MIT"),
        Git(; manifest=true),
        GitHubActions(; x86=true),
        Codecov(),
        Documenter{GitHubActions}(),
    ],
)

and afterwards:

t("MyExample")

to update a repository on my GitHub with the same name and it worked successfully. But when I want to test the package on runtest.jl file, it says:

ArgumentError: Package MyExample not found in current path:
- Run `import Pkg; Pkg.add("MyExample")` to install the MyExample package.

require(::Module, ::Symbol) at loading.jl:893

I also tired import Pkg; Pkg.add("MyExample") which gave me the error:

SystemError: opening file "C:\\Users\\Amirr\\.julia\\registries\\General\\Registry.toml": No such file or directory

my runtest.jl file is like this:

using MyExample
using Test

@testset "MyExample.jl" begin
    # Write your tests here.

    my_f(2,1)
end

I followed this video to create the package.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me on this.

I thing you need to Pkg.develop the new package rather than adding it.

The result is the same and it cannot find Registry.toml file.
I get the same error as before when I use Pkg.develop("MyExample")

SystemError: opening file "C:\\Users\\Amirr\\.julia\\registries\\General\\Registry.toml": No such file or directory.

I checked that path and it seems that I don’t have such file in my .julia folder (Registry.toml).

Hmm, it sounds like you need Pkg.init(), but I thought that was called automatically if it was required. Can you add and import other packages?

5

Yeah it looks like you have an issue with your registry in general? Do other package manager commands work?

I think you are following the general procedure for creating packages, but I wanted to do it through “PkgTemplates.jl”. And yes I can update/add/remove my other packages.

Yes package manager works for all the packages except the one I make with PkgTemplates.

I think it’s because of the fact that when I create a package, the Project.toml and Manifest.toml (which are located at C:\Users\Amirr\.julia\environments\v1.5) don’t get upadated and I cannot see the name of my package there, so, package manager doesn’t define my -new created- package.

this is the message I get when I create a package:
