Registry failed to update

General Usage

Since a few days ago I’m getting a warning when I ]up:

(v1.0) pkg> up
  Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
  Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/JuliaPOMDP`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaPOMDP/Registry`
┌ Warning: Some registries failed to update:

 Resolving package versions...
  Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.0/Project.toml`

  Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.0/Manifest.toml`

That is bothering me a little, how do I fix that warning? How do I remove those custom registries?

Suffering from the same issue.
julia 1.0.2

AFAIU It’s not a problem with the custom registries, but rather with the general one.
I think the following should work:

cd ~/.julia/registries/General
git stash
git pull
git stash drop

Then try ] up again in julia.

I have the same problem with Julia 1.0.2 but I am on windows. How to run git … ?

Thanks for your help.

Me too!

Another (perhaps simpler) solution is to just delete the .julia/registries/General folder and it will be installed again automatically.

Unfortunatly, this solution is not working for me (and few other after looking to the forum).

(v1.0) pkg> update
Resolving package versions…

I have removed the folder .git located into the .julia/registries/General and the error message has gone but … no update (may be because no packages have been changed). To be confirmed.

Well, if you remove .git it is just a regular folder, so obviously it can’t be updated.

Try removing .julia/registries/ completely.

Removing completely the .julia/registries solve the problem.

Many thanks.
