Hi,
I tried to create a simple package using PkgTemplates package. I used this template on [invenia website](https://invenia.github.io/PkgTemplates.jl/stable/user/#A-More-Complicated-Example-1) to create my package:
```julia
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:
```julia
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:
```julia
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:
```julia
SystemError: opening file "C:\\Users\\Amirr\\.julia\\registries\\General\\Registry.toml": No such file or directory
```
my `runtest.jl` file is like this:
```julia
using MyExample
using Test
@testset "MyExample.jl" begin
# Write your tests here.
my_f(2,1)
end
```
I followed [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-LV4zoxc-E) 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")`
```julia
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?

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:
