I’m struggling to get PkgBenchmark working for packages that require an unregistered dependency.
A simple demo of this issue is [Example.jl](https://github.com/milesfrain/Example), which depends on the `newfeature` branch of [ExampleDep.jl](https://github.com/milesfrain/ExampleDep/).
Example.jl has no issues being checked-out and tested.
```julia
git clone https://github.com/milesfrain/Example.git
cd Example/
julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test()'
...
Testing Example tests passed
```
But attempts with PkgBenchmark fail to find ExampleDep.jl.
```julia
julia -e 'using PkgBenchmark; benchmarkpkg(".")'
...

ERROR: LoadError: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package ExampleDep [68615898]:

```
Is the this same problem covered by [Pkg#492](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/492)? What are the possible workarounds?

The easiest solution is to check in `benchmark/Manifest.toml`. For an example, see: [https://github.com/tkf/ChainCutters.jl](https://github.com/tkf/ChainCutters.jl) (which depends on an unregistered package [https://github.com/tkf/BroadcastableStructs.jl](https://github.com/tkf/BroadcastableStructs.jl))

Wonderful. Thanks!
I got it working now.
For reference, here’s a [branch](https://github.com/milesfrain/Example/tree/fixed) with the required fixes for this minimal example.

Having another strange issue now.
When I try to setup `Project.toml` and `Manifest.toml` in my main project, Pkg3 wants to update my simplified Example project (deleted from disk), which has no relation. Do I need to reset the registry?
```julia
(v1.2) pkg> activate .
Activating new environment at `~/projects/MainProject/benchmark/Project.toml`
(benchmark) pkg> status
Status `~/projects/MainProject/benchmark/Project.toml`
(empty environment)
(benchmark) pkg> add ..
Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
Updating git-repo `/home/miles/temp/depdemo/Example`
ERROR: failed to fetch from /home/miles/temp/depdemo/Example, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:Net, unsupported URL protocol)
```
**Update:**
Turns out that deleting `~/.julia/registries/General` followed by a `pkg update` is not enough. There are remnants of this example project still in `~/.julia` that break pkg commands in other completely unrelated and freshly-generated projects. Seems like this is one of those situations where it’s faster to just declare bankruptcy and delete `~./julia`.
