I’m trying to create a registry. I’m starting with a simple example before I attempt the real thing. My goal here is to make a registry with two packages TestB which depends on TestA which is also in the registry. Then I want to install TestB and see that it can find and download TestA. I’m using Gu…

Since nobody with better expertise has replied, here are my 2 cents: The best guide for creating a registry that I have seen is here . I have tried this path somewhat unsuccessfully. I ended with a registry and entries in it that looked valid, but led to TOML errors that I could not parse. When I …

Thanks for trying to help. I think you may have missed the using Registrator step when following my steps. @GunnarFarneback thanks for the package, do you any insight here?

[image] ggggggggg: at this point I believe TestA exist, and is in TestRegistry, and I have added TestRegistry, so I should be able to find TestA from TestB… but clearly not ( It seems that you forgot the register step for TestA. The registry is, at this point, empty. (I managed to get create…

I did leave out register by accident, but it was failing as well because it assumes your package is in a git repo. Once I did git init inside TestA then I was able to register and get add TestA to work inside TestB. I’ll try to start from scratch again and see where I end up.

Thanks! I have been unsuccessfully spending a fair bit of time on this. Next step: How to push version updates…

I’m interested in what you figure out.

You have to push them manually: go to the local registry folder and call git push
