looks like deps is failing (LoadError: TypeError: in ServerWS, in type definition, expected Type, got a value of type typeof(HTTP.Handlers.RequestHandlerFunction))

[mind6]

maybe you have HTTP 1 installed? it isn't compatible

[AbhimanyuAryan]

@mind6 it is https://github.com/JuliaWeb/WebSockets.jl/blob/2ea25b7273b052290bbfb30fc205665f137a8a04/Project.toml#L13

WebSockets.jl now has a new version, requiring Julia 1.8.2+ and HTTP 1.1.0 to 1.5. Hopefully, this solves the issue; simply do Pkg.update() and check README.md!
