`Pkg.activate()` doesn't seem to activate the home package
In a project directory at
abcd/ $ pwd
/home/jishnu/Dropbox/JuliaPackages/abcd
I launch julia using
abcd/ $ julia-1.8 --project=.

Commit 6368fdc656 (2022-05-27 18:33 UTC)
Platform Info:
OS: Linux (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
CPU: 8 × 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz
WORD_SIZE: 64
LIBM: libopenlibm
LLVM: libLLVM-13.0.1 (ORCJIT, tigerlake)
Threads: 1 on 8 virtual cores
Environment:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = :/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/modules
JULIA_EDITOR = vim
The docstring says "If no argument is given to activate, then activate the home project. The home project is specified by either the --project command line option to the julia executable, or the JULIA_PROJECT
environment variable.". In this case, the specified --project
flag is not being activated anymore, and JULIA_PROJECT
is not set. In this case, Pkg.activate()
should not change the path at all, as the home project is already activated.
