Usage of package seems to require 'activate' (pkg manager)

General Usage
1

on RC2 using myPackage failes, because julia seems to be looking for a dependency package in the ‘standard Project.toml’ instead of the Project.toml of the package itself.

Thus, I need to first ]activate myPackage prior to using it.
Is this expected?
I don’t think this was the case in beta.
Can anyone reproduce this?

The error says:

That would be (v0.7) pkg> instantiate in the REPL, did you try that?

Thanks. That actually gives me another error.

Do you know what the easiest way is to ‘delete/reset’ (or reinstall) all packages?

If you want to reset everything (your depot (i.e.~/.julia) might be in a bad state?) then the easiest way forward might be to rename it (so the package manager thinks its gone) and do something like this:

pkg> add BenchmarkTools CSV#master Coverage ...
pkg> instantiate
