I’m trying to develop Zygote, but can’t successfully install the latest development version from Github. When I try installing the package from the Github repo directly or trying to use the dev command with it, I get the following error: julia> versioninfo() Julia Version 1.2.0 Commit c6da87ff4b (2…

I think you shouldn’t dev after add? In any case, remove any Zygote related stuff and just do ] dev Zygote should always work.

That doesn’t seem to change the behavior. % ~ % rm -rf ~/.julia % ~ % julia --banner=no (v1.2) pkg> dev Zygote Cloning default registries into `~/.julia` Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git" Added registry `General` to `~/.julia/registries/General` Cl…

I see, that means there’s a bug in current Zygote’s Dependency with ZygoteRules.

The dependencies list is correct, I’m pretty sure. If I manually go through all the packages specified in the Manifest.toml, I can successfully add/install the Zygote package. See the script attached. using Pkg env = length(ARGS) > 0 ? ARGS[1] : "." fname = length(ARGS) > 1 ? ARGS[2] : "Manifest.t…

You have to add ZygoteRules#master before you dev Zygote. Dependency resolution only takes registered versions into account.

The fact that Pkg resolves dependencies of a development package using the general registry seems counter intuitive. What if I’m developing two development packages A and B at the same time and A depends on B? Pkg will throw an error because I haven’t placed B in the general registry. The Manifest.…

I see, so it is the case that for now the Manifest of the dependency is ignored and you have to add them manually. I’m linking here the pull request which fredrikekre mentions in the Travis post. https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/1088 Thanks.
