Level of issue

Does not cause crash, but is a major issue [severe:s2]

What happened?

I was using Pluto desktop happily for a number of months, but at some point when loading I began getting a Javascript error, after which the app would just give the loading screen continuously and never successfully open. I can't even open Pluto to troubleshoot, so unfortunately I can't give much detail beyond the error and my system details. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the app, but that did not resolve the issue.

I'm using Pluto Desktop release: v0.0.2.

OS - Windows 11 Pro Processor - 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12800HX 2.00 GHz Installed RAM - 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)

Error:

Version

0.0.2

Did you recently add Revise to your ~/.julia/config/startup.jl file?

[stefanjwojcik]

Hmm, it's possible I added it after installing the Pluto Desktop App. Is it best practice to avoid this? Happy to close if this is expected in that case.

[fonsp]

Okay! It's not best practice to avoid this, don't worry!

This should be fixed by #57, since the separate DEPOT won't have the user's default startup.jl. (That PR has been mergen but not released yet)

[stefanjwojcik]

Great! Cool to close this then?
