Hi guys!

I am making my packages ready for v0.7 but I am facing a problem. In new Pkg, I added my package using:

```julia
]add SatelliteToolbox
dev SatelliteToolbox

```

The problem is that, in the tests, it says that the package `ReferenceFrameRotations` is not available. However, it is a dependency of `SatelliteToolbox`. Thus, the tests are failing. It only worked when I manually add the `ReferenceFrameRotations`. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

You cannot use “recurisve dependencies”. If you need to import it, it should be declared as a dependency. This is intended.

Hi @kristoffer.carlsson

I am not using recursive dependencies. `SatelliteToolbox` depends on `ReferenceFrameRotations`. Not the contrary.

In the old Pkg, when I add `SatelliteToolbox`, then `ReferenceFrameRotations` is added and everything works.

Maybe this warning can make things clear:

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package SatelliteToolbox does not have SparseArrays in its dependencies:
 - If you have SatelliteToolbox checked out for development and have
   added SparseArrays as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
   environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
 - Otherwise you may need to report an issue with SatelliteToolbox.

```

By the way, this is the `REQUIRE` file:

```julia
julia 0.6
HTTP
Interpolations
Parameters 0.9.0
ReferenceFrameRotations 0.2.1
StaticArrays

```

EDIT: Unfortunately I copied the wrong message error above ☹ please do not consider it

Do you have a link to e.g a Travis log where this fails.

In Travis it works, it is falling when I start to develop the package in my machine using `dev` of the new Pkg system.

Ok, what if you manually pull the latest version by going into `dev`?

It does not work either. I needed to manually add the package `ReferenceFrameRotations`.

I mean, only after:

```julia
]add ReferenceFrameRotations

```

that things started to work.

Where are you importing the package? In the REPL or from `Satellite...`?

</div>

ah! in `runtests.jl` I need to import it also.

```julia
using Test

using DelimitedFiles
using LinearAlgebra
using Printf
using ReferenceFrameRotations
using SatelliteToolbox

```

Btw, I saw the problem when running `julia runtests.jl`.

</div>

Another question, can I use

```julia
julia 0.7

```

in `REQUIRE`? Because after the new commit, the package is not compatible anymore with v0.6.

Did you try doing `Pkg.resolve()` (i.e. `resolve` at the pkg prompt)?

Yes I did, but unfortunately this was not the error message that I wanted to paste. The other problem with the `ReferenceFrameRotations` package was not fixed by `Pkg.resolve()`.
