Trouble using newly-generated packages #418

timholy · 2018-06-21T18:22:54Z

I'm not exactly sure what fraction of this is supposed to work (julia Commit c1eb3e80e4* (2018-06-21 16:18 UTC)), but here's an annotated session where I had to hack access to one package and failed to figure out how to get a second package to make use of the first:

tim@diva:/tmp/pkgs$ julia-0.7 -q

       end
       """)
       end

Seems like the dev HelloWorld step, to add it to the project, is missing from the docs. Should be something like this I think

(v0.7) pkg> generate HelloWorld
Generating project HelloWorld:
    HelloWorld/Project.toml
    HelloWorld/src/HelloWorld.jl

(v0.7) pkg> dev HelloWorld

  [7c175e58] + HelloWorld v0.1.0 [`HelloWorld`]
  Updating `Manifest.toml`

julia> import HelloWorld

julia> HelloWorld.greet()
Hello World!

Thanks, that helps. I can try to edit the docs. Is there any way to add it during generate, though? I think anyone who just fires up an editor and started writing code may be surprised. (But I should say I am not sure I fully understand the purpose of dev, maybe because I'm always deving 😁 .)

What about dependencies, though?

Is there any way to add it during generate, though?

Yes, perhaps it makes sense to add the generated project automatically?

I think the example in your last post worked pre-JuliaLang/julia#27633 where the active environment was automatically determined by pwd(). The problem now is that after

shell> cd B
/tmp/pkgs/

we don't activate Bs environment, as indicated by the prompt which is still (v0.7) pkg>. If we had activated Bs environment the prompt would be (B) pkg>. This means that in the next step, the add A is a no-op -- A is already added to the (v0.7) environment. To activate another environment you can, for now, export JULIA_LOAD_PATH="@:" which will be expanded to the directory where you start julia, and with JuliaLang/julia#27696 we can set it to "@@:" to essentially get the pre-JuliaLang/julia#27633 behaviour back. Ideally there would be a pkg> activate or similar command to easily switch environments within the same julia process, which would make things like this a lot smoother.

Here is how you can make this work now (with export JULIA_LOAD_PATH="@:")

(v0.7) pkg> generate A
Generating project A:
    A/Project.toml
    A/src/A.jl

julia> open("A/src/A.jl", "w") do io
           print(io, """
       __precompile__(true)

       module A
       f(x) = 1
       end
       """)
       end

(v0.7) pkg> dev A
 Resolving package versions...
  Updating `Project.toml`
  [f254ec9a] + A v0.1.0 [`A`]
  Updating `Manifest.toml`
  [f254ec9a] + A v0.1.0 [`A`]

(v0.7) pkg> generate B
Generating project B:
    B/Project.toml
    B/src/B.jl

julia> open("B/src/B.jl", "w") do io
           print(io, """
       __precompile__(true)

       module B
       using A
       g(x) = -1
       end
       """)
       end

(v0.7) pkg> dev B
 Resolving package versions...
  Updating `Project.toml`
  [0fdf17cc] + B v0.1.0 [`B`]
  Updating `Manifest.toml`
  [0fdf17cc] + B v0.1.0 [`B`]

cd to B and start julia in this directory (note from the prompt that the active environment is B)

(B) pkg> dev ../A
 Resolving package versions...
  Updating `Project.toml`
  [f254ec9a] + A v0.1.0 [`~/A`]
  Updating `Manifest.toml`
  [f254ec9a] + A v0.1.0 [`~/A`]

Now we added A to Bs Project.toml (done with dev though, since we want to point it to a specific local path in this case). Now cd back and start julia again

(v0.7) pkg> st
    Status `Project.toml`
  [f254ec9a] A v0.1.0 [`A`]
  [0fdf17cc] B v0.1.0 [`B`]

Seems like there is nothing left to do here
