Error while trying to register: Action not recognized: in
I've observed the same issue here.
The circumstances are identical - I first tried to register SVD2Julia.jl last week and forgot that one of its dependencies was still not registered. That dependency is now registered, but trying to register SVD2Julia.jl now fails with the same error as reported above.
An initial investigation in Slack yielded a possible cause; stale branches in the local clone of the registry, which don't seem to get cleaned up here. I think that return path should clean up the stale registration branch?
I made this issue at the General Registry, but I just found this project, and believe it is more appropriate here. I'm copying the original issue text below.
I have recently created two packages:
HorizonsAPI
, andHorizonsEphemeris
. TheHorizonsEphemeris
package depends onHorizonsAPI
.HorizonsAPI
is in the queue for its first release in the General registry.I tried to register
HorizonsEphemeris
today for the first time. Of course, this was rejected, sinceHorizonsAPI
is still in the waiting period. To getHorizonsEphemeris
in the queue, I removed its dependency onHorizonsAPI
. I hoped to release this first version to claim the name, and release a minor patch which re-introduces the dependency onHorizonsAPI
. When I tried to registerHorizonsEphemeris
for the second time, I got an error stating "v0.1.0 already exists".It seems that I got the @JuliaRegistrator in a bad state by trying to register a package which has a private dependency. Somehow, the registrator bot now recognizes
HorizonsEphemeris
as registered, despite the name not existing in the General registry.This is not a big issue for me — I can just release my first
HorizonsEphemeris
version asv0.1.1
afterHorizonsAPI
is merged into the General registry. I wanted to make known this bad state I somehow got the registrator bot in.
