Can't the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH be changed in apps?

[olivierlabayle]

Hello,

I am building an app in a docker container and then try to run it via singularity. The app builds successfully but can't run because the DEPOT_PATH seems to be hardlinked to the app's share folder. Whether I do:

./tmle/bin/TargetedEstimation --help

or

JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt ./TargetedEstimation --help # or export JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt

Scratch.jl which I think is supposed to write to the DEPOT_PATH seems to be tryiing to append the scratch_usage.toml in /TargetedEstimation.jl/tmle/share/julia/logs/.

Can I do anything to fix this? Thanks!
