This looks like what is needed, a good (working) workflow example for newbies to get a handhold. It takes an extreme investment of time to blaze a trail on your own from documentation and a pile of people’s helpful comments.

Just going to drop this here to hopefully alleviate some future person having issues with using Revise – if you’re writing Julia code on one computer and debugging/running code on a remote linux server, and you’re using rsync to sync your code, make sure you’re using the --inplace flag in order to ensure that the file events that are being generated are changed events, rather than changed/rename events. The latter corresponds to the default behaviour of rsync, where a temporary file is created + moved, while the former behaviour is what can actually be picked up by Revise currently.

Fixed by https://github.com/timholy/Revise.jl/pull/342
Also everyone should buy Tim Holy a beer and/or other drink of his choice in perpetuity because he’s wonderful. Not sure how we’d all get anything done in Julia without Revise.

Just an update, for those who prefer to develop with “one giant code directory that I add to my LOAD_PATH,” Revise 2.1.9 may be an improvement thanks to an issue posted by user xgdgsc. As always, if things don’t work as expected please report bugs.
