Revise 3.9 problem with Julia 1.12?

[JoaoAparicio]

Just to flag, I've been unable to install Revise 3.9 with Julia 1.12.0-rc1

After updating Revise I started getting wall of text. Quit Julia, remove Revise from startup.jl.

]activate --temp
]add Revise  # fails

Running ]precompile recovers wall of text. Many instances of:

Rats, I forgot about that. It will be fixed when JuliaLang/julia#59182 makes it into rc2. Until then I think you would be better off with Revise v3.8.1

Yes, but the my problem now is... How do I get 1.12 to use Revise 3.8?

I go to ~/.julia/environments/v1.12/Project.toml. If I add a compat there without Revise being installed, it breaks the env. (compat without dep is only allow in packet Project files, apparently, not pure env).

(@v1.12) pkg> st
ERROR: Compat `Revise` not listed in `deps`, `weakdeps` or `extras` section at "~/.julia/environments/v1.12/Project.toml".

So I ask Julia to install Revise (3.9), then I manually add the compat afterwards, but then I can't run ]up because 3.9 also breaks the environment.

Funny :-) I think that the core problem here is that compats should be allowed in env Project files even if the dep isn't there...?

So OK I guess back to Julia 1.11 until 1.12 rc2 comes out. Thank you!

I got it. When the env is broken, even though you can't ]up, you can ]pin Revise@3.8.1. That fixed it, thank you.

same. thanks for fix.

You can fix this while getting your environment in order with

(@v1.12) pkg> rm Revise
(@v1.12) pkg> add Revise@1.8.1

Julia 1.12-rc2 is out now
