I was using Julia v 0.64 ( I need to use a code written in this version) in Atom in the last months without any issues.  
Today the REPL was not able to start Julia exting all time.  
I so uninstalled and reinstalled again both Julia, Atom and all the related folders.  
Now it gives me this error-

Press Enter to start a new session.  
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @error not defined  
Stacktrace:  
[1] include\_from\_node1(::String) at .\loading.jl:576  
[2] include(::String) at .\sysimg.jl:14  
[3] process\_options(::Base.JLOptions) at .\client.jl:305  
[4] \_start() at .\client.jl:371  
while loading C:\Users\gcalajo.atom\packages\julia-client\script\boot\_repl.jl, in expression starting on line 1

I retried to repeat uninstall and reinstall again and give me always the same error.  
Someone can help?

Thanks for answering, but where it should go this script?

I think if you drop that `boot_reql.jl` in `~/.atom/packages/julia-client/scripts` and start atom that will probably work. I would save the original file just in case.

Do note that the script in that PR was actually incorrect – please use [this version](https://github.com/JunoLab/atom-julia-client/blob/master/script/boot_repl.jl) instead or wait for the next release of julia-client.

Thanks a lot!Now with the new script it is working again.  
The only (not big I guess) issue is that is remaining a warning:  
WARNING: Atom.jl: unrecognised message updateeditor.

It is something that can be fix or it will remain for this version?

I don’t think there will be any further updates to Atom.jl for Julia 0.6. You can however add

```julia
handle("updateeditor") do data
end

```

to [this file](https://github.com/JunoLab/Atom.jl/blob/julia-0.6/src/misc.jl) locally, which will get rid of the warning.

Hello, this didn’t worked for me. I added that to the file and the warning messages still appears.

EDIT: Actually, i have edited the wrong `misc.jl` file. Could you tell me where exactly that file i need to modify is in Windows?

I’ve been looking inside this path:

`C:\Users\Muril\.julia\packages\Atom`

And, inside that Atom folder, there are 2 more folders witch contains a `misc.jl` file, but none of them looks like the one you posted here.
