Pkg: `CodeTracking` not found

General Usage

I inadvertently made some manual changes to my Manifest.jl and now every time I use ]status I get the following error

ERROR: KeyError: key "CodeTracking" not found

In an attempt to rectify this, I just completely deleted my manifest and started anew, yet still the error persists. I removed all packages that had any dependency on CodeTracking, yet still it persists. Finally, I deleted .julia/registries, yet still it persists.

I even deleted all of .julia, still no luck.

This problem is mind blowing. I’ve deleted everything, .julia, all the entries from my Project.toml… I still get the error in this project, always.

Any ideas?

Wow, that was an adventure.

Apparnetly, Pkg somehow looks at the Manifest in the git HEAD. Mine was screwed up, so it was getting an error. A simple solution is to commit a non-screwed-up manifest.

Lesson: do NOT manually manipulate Manifest.toml under any circumstances! If there is a git diff on it, ignore it.

When you are in a git repository, Pkg.status shows the diff since last commit, so thats why. Of course it shouldn’t fail like this though. If this still happens on Julia master it would be good if you can file an issue on the Pkg repo.
