With julia 1.6.0 everything works as expected, however the output doesn’t show in 1.6.1:  
1.6.0:

1.6.1:

What’s going on here, is this a bug in julia and/or PlutoUI?

Code to reproduce below

```julia
begin
	using Pkg;
	Pkg.add("PlutoUI")
	using PlutoUI
end

```

```julia
with_terminal() do
	println(VERSION)
	Pkg.activate(".")
end

```

```julia
with_terminal() do
	Pkg.status()
end

```

Confirmed:  
julia-1.6.1:

julia-1.6.0:

`Pluto v0.14.5`

Seems worth reporting to [Issues · JuliaPluto/PlutoUI.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/fonsp/PlutoUI.jl/issues)

I think that’s a Julia issue, fixed in [https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/2543](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/2543)

Thanks, yes I was reluctant to filing an issue at PlutoUI if it was indeed a Julia issue.

I looks like `import Pkg; Pkg.DEFAULT_IO[] = stdout` should be a workaround, but it seems to make no difference for me in 1.6.1, unfortunately.

Since the redirection here happens in `with_terminal` you need to use this inside that, or simply pass `stdout` explicitly, e.g.

```julia
with_terminal() do
    Pkg.status(; io = stdout)
end

```

That doesn’t work, unfortunately, maybe something else is going on here as well?

Looks like a Pluto bug then, since this also fails (prints to the wrong stdout):

```julia
with_terminal() do
    println(stdout, "hello, world")
end

```

Thanks, that’s the same behavior in 1.6.0, though.

I gave it a shot in the latest nightly, where it works fine again, so it looks like it might be fixed with PR mentioned above:

Yea, since it is a bug in Pluto I am guessing it applies to all Julia versions.

Right. It has to do with PlutoUI’s `with_terminal` using the `Suppressor.jl` macro `@capture_out` to capture the stdout, I think, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what the problem was.

In case anyone wants to have a closer look, that is.

Hi, still no solution to this issue? Does that mean that with\_terminal can’t be used in new versions of Pluto?

Newer Pluto version actually capture output to the terminal directly and display it in the notebook without any user intervention:

Then I don’t understand what I do wrong. In my case:  
Pkg.status() (in notebook)

[7f904dfe] PlutoUI v0.7.37 (in terminal, nothing shows up in notebooks)

Which Pluto version are you using?
