Julia plugin does not work anymore after updating to Julia 1.11

#1

Hi, I recently updated Julia from 1.10 to 1.11 and my Julia plugin in texmacs is not working anymore. When I start a Julia session, I see “Busy” but nothing happens.

If in a Scheme session I try (url-exists-in-path? "julia") I get #t and also (supports-julia?) gives #t as well. It should be noted that I updated my Julia through Juliaup, and the julia.exe file is located in C:\Users\Username\.julia\juliaup\julia-1.11.1+0.x64.w64.mingw32\bin, which is added to my PATH. I can start the newly installed julia from terminal and it runs without any problem.

Try the latest testing build posted two days ago.

Where do I find this testing build?

#4

Windows and macos binaries are here. If you are on Linux, you have to pull the svn repository and build it yourself.

#5

Great, thanks very much!

#6

Do you know what caused this and what the fix was? This still seems to happen in Mogan, so it would be good to port the fix.

#7

To build Julia on Linux:

git clone https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git (the first time)
cd julia
### git pull (to update later)
### make clean (to update later)
make
### make test (if you want)

I’ve checked the tm-julia plugin and indeed there were a problem with Julia 1.11 (Base.banner() is replaced by REPL.banner()). I’ve committed a fix and it works now for me on Mac with the last Julia 1.11 downloaded from its website.

Can you try this new version? You can download it from https://github.com/mgubi/tm-julia .

Great, that works! Many thanks!

We can check the version as well in the fix? I guess many people will still be on v1.10.

    if VERSION > v"1.11"
        REPL.banner(io)
    else
        Base.banner(io)
    end
#10

should the inequality be strict or not? Is there a way to find out directly if banner is defined in Base or REPL?

#11

This should work

    if isdefined(REPL,:banner)
        REPL.banner(io)
    elseif isdefined(Base,:banner)
        Base.banner(io)
    end
#12

May I suggest an error message if neither is defined?

#13

Added! Thanks to both.
