Julia No Longer Working In Atom

Hello. I am new to Julia and I have been using Atom for the last few months. Suddenly, I am unable to run any of my code and I am not sure why. I know Atom is being sunset on December 15th, but I assumed I would still be able to run my code as usual. Any tips?

using Random, Parameters, DataFrames, Optim, Distributions, StatFiles, LinearAlgebra






cd("C:/Users/mcket/OneDrive/Documents/Fall 2022/ECON899-Computational/899Code/JF_PS2")


##Bring in data
data = DataFrame(load("Mortgage_performance_data1.dta"))


y = data[!,"duration"]
##Set y as our outcome vector


y = Array(y)

ind = ["score_0", "rate_spread", "i_large_loan", "i_medium_loan", "i_refinance", "age_r", "cltv", "dti", "cu", "first_mort_r", "i_FHA", "i_open_year2", "i_open_year3", "i_open_year4", "i_open_year5"]
x = data[!,ind] ##
z = data[!,["score_0", "score_1", "score_2"]] #Set our z vector
insertcols!(x, 16, :const => 1) #add a constant
x = Matrix(x)
z = Matrix(z)
beta = zeros(size(x,2)) #I counted sixteen variables in the problem set, plus a constant
N= size(x,1)

use VC Code, Atom is abandonware after Micro$oft bought out GitHub and basically killed Atom

Yes, Atom doesn’t work reliably now, even before the official sunset time. One of the dependent packages must have changed, perhaps. Tips include:

  • show any error messages you see in your posts
  • provide a MWE (ie self-contained example) that others can test
  • list the output of package status command
  • revert all packages (including Atom/Jumo) to earlier working versions. Environments are useful for this, and for “fixing” package versions…
  • try the code in VS-Code (which isn’t so bad, for this former Atom user, at least).

Ah understood. Thanks.

Ah, okay. My code works fine in VS-Code so I think Ill just move there as that seems to be where everyone works. Thanks!
