Unable to start a Genie Builder server about geniebuilder.jl HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, that's right GenieBuilder uses Genie but the generators and the apps are different.

OK - so then try the other thing: please remove the ~/.julia/geniebuilder folder, restart VSCode and try starting the GenieBuilder server again. It will attempt to reinstall all the dependencies.

from geniebuilder.jl.

@hbonnavaud do you have julia in PATH?

from geniebuilder.jl.

julia is in /snap/bin/, and /snap/bin/ is in PATHso I guess yes.

This is not a problem with julia I guess because Pkg.add("Genie") work but not Pkg.add("GenieBuider").
According to this index https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/tree/master/G, there is no package "GenieBuilder" so julia is right and the question is, why the "start server" button try to use the package "GenieBuilder" if it do not exists?

Btw, I was able to create a genie app using:

:~/$ julia
julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("Genie")
julia> Genie.Generator.newapp("MyApp")    // Edited

And to start the server using

:~/MyApp/$ bin/repl
julia> up()

And everything work well. But I when I use the interface of the VSCode plugin and try to start the server using the "start server" button, I get the error above, and I am then not able to load the editor.

I also tried to uninstall GeniBuilder plugin and install Genie Builder Insider, but it gave me the same problem.

@hbonnavaud You're not supposed to install GenieBuilder.jl manually - indeed, the package is not registered and is instead managed by the VSCode plugin. The flow is: install the VSCode plugin from marketplace, start server -- and the plugin will install/update needed dependencies. If you did this and Julia is in PATH and starting the server still doesn't work, please remove the ~/.julia/geniebuilder folder, restart VSCode and try starting the GenieBuilder server again.

Regarding what you say, not sure what you've actually done, but Genie.Builder does not exist so Genie.Builder.newapp("MyApp") can not work. Maybe you mean Genie.Generators.newapp which is a different thing. Also Genie and GenieBuilder are two different packages.

The flow is: install the VSCode plugin from marketplace, start server

Yes, this is exactly what I did. THEN, because it didn't worked, it tried to modify some stuff to make it work without success. Then, I uninstalled the plugin, and reinstalled it. But I didn't installed it manually.

The error

ERROR: ArgumentError: Package GenieBuilder not found in current path.
- Run `import Pkg; Pkg.add("GenieBuilder")` to install the GenieBuilder package.

Whas the error I meet right after installing the VS code plugin and clicking "start server" without any modification of my own.

Yes Genie.Generators.newapp is what I did (I edited the previous message) I did that to check if Genie was installed well, because I guess that GenieBuilder use it right ?

from geniebuilder.jl.

Ok, for some reason, removing ~/.julia/geniebuilder and restart both VSCode and server made the trick. I don't know why It didn't worked last time I removed It, and right after installation though... Thank you for your help !

You're welcome!
