Is Interact package dead?

General Usage
1

I see that it is impossible lo “add Interact” to both “v16.5” (LTS) and to “v17.2” …
Please let me know …
Thanks !!

2

It’s generally more helpful to post an actual error message - I have no problems adding and using Interact on either Julia 1.7.2 or 1.6.5.

3

Not at all! I use it on 1.7 all the time.

Yes best to post your full error message.

Thany tou for the suggestions. Hope the below is correctly formatted. I’m a newcomer …

Can you add any other packages? What do you get from ] registry status?

(Also to format your code properly enclose it in triple backticks ```)

(@v1.6) pkg> registry status
Registry Status 
 [bbcd6645] JuliaComputingRegistry (https://github.com/JuliaComputing/JuliaComputingRegistry)

How did you end up with that? Please do

] registry rm JuliaComputingRegistry
] registry add General
] add Interact

JuliaComputingRegistry probably entered by using JuliaAcademy, but I’m not sure …
Now Interact is perfectly working …!! Thank you so much

Hi guys,
the Interact package does not work again for me.
A notebook excerpt for 18S096/lectures/lecture2 follows, locally evaluated in my macbook w MacOS Monterey v"12.2.1", using Jupyter from Julia v"1.7.2".
Same error on Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks for your help:

using Interact

The package contains a @manipulate macro, that is wrapped around a for loop:

@manipulate for n in 1:1000
    n
end
