Using StaticArrays on 0.7 fails [SOLVED]

General Usage
1

I installed StaticArrays on Version 0.7.0-DEV.5216 (2018-05-24 18:04 UTC),
using the new package manager.

While the installation seams to work, using it fails:

julia> using StaticArrays

Any idea?

I actually also tried the suggestion:

`Pkg.add("Pkg")`

But it did not help.

Try to get the master, I assume Pkg.checkout still works. You might also need the master version of other packages (test them one by one as they appear in the error message). Otherwise look at issues on github, a lot of packages are still WIP on v0.7.

4

This issue in particular is due to very recent changes in Julia 0.7, see Rename Pkg → OldPkg, Pkg3 → Pkg. Things are temporarily a bit more unstable than they usually are even for a DEV version.

You could use the fork of Compat.jl that Kristoffer mentions in the PR, or if you’re not doing development work on Julia itself, perhaps you could go with a 0.7 build that’s a few days older, at least until things settle down with these Pkg changes.

I tried your suggestion, but it doesn’t help:

Any idea?

Well, I just want to learn how to use the new package manager. So I guess I rather wait a little bit. :slight_smile:

Everything should be working fine now. Some people have had problems for some reason when they had old registries so try rm -r ~/.julia/registries/Uncurated and then pkg> up.

For example:

(Pkg) pkg> add StaticArrays
  Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/Uncurated`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Uncurated.git`
 Resolving package versions...
  Updating `Project.toml`
  [90137ffa] + StaticArrays v0.7.0
....

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn’t help:

Any idea?

Ah, just remove ~/.julia/registries and try again.

Great now it works! Thank you very much. :smile:

Will future Pkg version work without this hack?
