When trying to register a new version of one of my packages, I get the message “Error while handling request”. It appears right underneath the web form, with no additional explanation. What does it mean?

On the page `https://platform.juliahub.com/ui/Packages` I click on “Register package”. Then a form pops up, and I fill it out. I’ve done it many times already, and so far there was never a problem.

Ah, we might need to find a JuliaHub employee then.

Hi @matthias314 ,

Can you please try revoking your GitHub token from the Juliahub Preferences page? Registration should work after that.

This is same as [Package registration via Juliahub not working - #10 by lamdor](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/package-registration-via-juliahub-not-working/137324/10)

A nicer error message is printed in the latest version of [juliahub.com](http://juliahub.com) that should be out soon.

Thanks,  
Nishanth

Thanks! Now it works.

I did look for similar postings before posting myself, but somehow I missed the one you mentioned.
