Documenter and PkgTemplates use the following to prepare a docs job:
Pkg.develop(PackageSpec(path=pwd()))
Pkg.instantiate()'
Could it be that this order is wrong? I have a case where it fails with the following error:
ERROR: expected package `Documenter [e30172f5]` to exist at path `/home/runner/.julia/packages/Documenter/Otri3`
This happens when GitHub CI builds a project that depends on a custom version of Documenter (using pkg> add https://github.com/knuesel/Documenter.jl#fix-envvar-checks and pushing the resulting Manifest to GitHub). The goal of the whole thing is to test my Documenter branch, where I changed the code that handles GitHub actions.
The full build log can be seen here
However it works if I run instantiate before develop. Any reason we should not always do that?
