Revise.jl bug when updating a package (on Windows)

General Usage
6

That function was not changed so it is not surprising that nothing has changed with that function. The way Revise works is that it checks for updates to functions and re-evaluates them.

Here is another example where I add a package version with a known bug (knn: skipped items output when there is a skip function has always the last index and not 0 index · Issue #145 · KristofferC/NearestNeighbors.jl · GitHub), update it to a working version and see that the bug if fixed. The path is also updated:
