Juno ide repl conpty error while starting Julia session

New to Julia

Randomly getting this error. Reinstalled to latest version of atom, but guess its unrelated since error persists. Any suggestions?

Try re-installing julia-client (potentially with closing Atom, apm uninstall julia-client, apm install julia-client in a terminal).

Now I’m getting Failed to activate the julia-client package error at startup.

Tried both install/uninstall from atom as well as from terminal

Do you have ink installed properly?

5

Updated ink and everything back to normal

What was the issue initially? Is it just a matter of promptly updating packages in atom?

6

The initial issue is that the update to Atom 1.41 silently broke a native dependency Juno relies on. In theory Atom should detect that and ask you to rebuild julia-client, but for some reason that failed with the last update; hence the need to reinstall manually. No idea why ink broke though, that shouldn’t have happened.

7

When I noticed the initial error, I had not updated atom manually though. Was there an auto update?

8

Yes, Atom auto-updates on Windows (and maybe on macOS as well).

Ok, I see. Thanks!

How did you solve this? I met the same problem.
