I reported an issue with testing ImageView which apparently has been fixed but for me it persists. After a complete reinstall of master Version 1.4.0-DEV.564 (2019-12-08) I tried again but still the same problems. Drilling down I find that testing `ImageView` complains about `Gettext` and `Gettext` complains about `Formatting`. Speicifically adding `Formatting` and then testing it succeeds but then adding `Gettext` and testing it fails with `Package Formatting not found in current path`. From reading I find that Formatting might be old, so maybe I need to clean out a registry somewhere. In `.config` I deleted the `Compiled` and `Environment` sections for v1.4. What might my next step be? Until a few days ago master was working correctly with the above packages.

You might try Julia 1.3? E.g., [https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Gtk.jl/issues/463](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Gtk.jl/issues/463)

Yes, 1.3 works. Thanks for useful reference, I will follow it.
