Running `build` in Pkg mode fails

Open karajan9 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

When running build in Pkg mode the following error appears:

ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * PackageName (not found in project or manifest)
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

This is presumably because the Project.toml contains name = "PackageName" which was given when the project was initialized, but nothing but that name. A workaround is to run build pkg1 pkg2 ... instead, but it appears the error also prevents automatic building after installing a new package.

Running on Julia 1.1.0 on Windows 7 with DrWatson 0.5.3.

Hm, I need help here. I don't really know why this happens and I don't know how to solve it... :( I think we need help from a Pkg-guru. I'll try to see if I can get some help.

This turns out to be a missing feature from Pkg.
