Package Installation Failing April 2020 - JuliaDB, OnlineStats

General Usage

1

Seems like error has something to do with JuliaDB, OnlineStats, but not sure.

Just execute below code:

using Pkg
Pkg.add(“CSV”)
Pkg.add(“DataFrames”)
Pkg.add(“HTTP”)
Pkg.add(“JSON”)
Pkg.add(“JuliaDB”)
Pkg.add(“MbedTLS”)
using CSV
using JuliaDB
using HTTP
using JSON
using Dates
@info VERSION
@info Pkg.installed()

You should get below exceptions. We are running LTS version 1.0.5 on production, the issue is also coming with latest version 1.4.1

A LearnBase release broke a few things. I think you can update OnlineStatsBase, which has an upper bound for LearnBase, or you can pin LearnBase at 0.3.

3

Is JuliaDB still maintained? Any plan of improving its performance?

Thank you so much @joshday, this worked! Here is the updated script, just in case anyone hit the same issue.

using Pkg
Pkg.add(Pkg.PackageSpec(;name=“LearnBase”, version=“0.3”))
Pkg.add(“CSV”)
Pkg.add(“DataFrames”)
Pkg.add(“HTTP”)
Pkg.add(“JSON”)
Pkg.add(“JuliaDB”)
Pkg.add(“MbedTLS”)
using CSV
using JuliaDB
using HTTP
using JSON
using Dates
@info VERSION
@info Pkg.installed()

@joshday - I am sorry, but now (today = 5/12/2020, 5th May 2020) getting this on Julia TLS (1.0.5) version. It’s our production environment. Help please!!

That looks unrelated to the problem from before.

Looks like something is holding back DataFrames, but CSV requires the latest version.

hmm, in that case, let me create a separate issue. Thanks @joshday
