I’m using Julia 1.7.2 and I’m trying to set up a project to work on. I’ve created the folder using `DrWatson` and I’ve added `Revise` to `startup.jl`: the idea is of course to have to ability to modify code (I’m using VSCode btw) without having to reload the REPL everytime. The problem is, when I open `julia` in the project folder, run `] instantiate` and then call `using Tesi` (where `Tesi` is the project name, which is also the name of the only `.jl` file I’m using and the main module), I get these warnings:

```julia
┌ Warning: Package Base does not have DrWatson in its dependencies:
│ - If you have Base checked out for development and have
│ added DrWatson as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
│ environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
│ - Otherwise you may need to report an issue with Base
└ Loading DrWatson into Base from project dependency, future warnings for Base are suppressed.
┌ Warning:
└ Loading LinearAlgebra into Tesi from project dependency, future warnings for Tesi are suppressed.

```

Running `] resolve` yields no changes to the `.toml` files and doesn’t solve the problem.

My code in `Tesi.jl` looks something like this:

```julia
using DrWatson
@quickactivate "Tesi" 

module Tesi
import LinearAlgebra
# ... structs and functions, no other imports are made
end #module Tesi

```

The output from `] status` in the `Tesi` environment is

```julia
(Tesi) pkg> st
     Project Tesi v0.1.0
      Status `E:\Università\2020-2021\Tesi\Project.toml`
  [634d3b9d] DrWatson v2.9.1
  [22787eb5] Term v0.2.0

```

while the output from `] status` in the default environment is

```julia
(@v1.7) pkg> st
      Status `C:\Users\Niky\.julia\environments\v1.7\Project.toml`
  [5fb14364] OhMyREPL v0.5.12
  [14b8a8f1] PkgTemplates v0.7.26
  [295af30f] Revise v3.3.3

```

And just in case, here is my `startup.jl` file:

```julia
atreplinit() do repl
    try
        @eval using OhMyREPL
    catch e
        @warn "error while importing OhMyREPL" e
    end
	
	try
        @eval using Revise
    catch e
        @warn "error while importing Revise" e
    end
end

```

and my `Project.toml` file:

```julia
name = "Tesi"
uuid = "dc6fdeef-2f65-43ab-9e33-8e7f18faa1fd"
authors = ["Nicholas Pini <ultrapoci@gmail.com> and contributors"]
version = "0.1.0"

[deps]
DrWatson = "634d3b9d-ee7a-5ddf-bec9-22491ea816e1"
Term = "22787eb5-b846-44ae-b979-8e399b8463ab"

[compat]
julia = "1.7.2"

```

Searching online I’ve found that the solution would be to run `] instantiate`, but as I’ve said above, I’m already doing so.  
As far as I’m aware, everything works despite the warnings: the module is imported correctly and if I modify the code, `Revise` kicks in and updates the functions in the module correctly.
