Persistent tasks check false positives due to log errors

[Octogonapus]

I'm getting this error from the persistent tasks check:

┌ Error: Unexpected error: /tmp/jl_5QBoPoj8tc/done.log was not created, but precompilation exited

Using Julia v1.10.2. My project file is:

name = "persistenttest"
uuid = "57a7f931-a6fc-4b01-a2d7-6d729ee43e20"
version = "0.1.0"

[deps]
libpng_jll = "b53b4c65-9356-5827-b1ea-8c7a1a84506f"

[compat]
Aqua = "=0.8.0"
libpng_jll = "=1.6.43"
Test = "1"
julia = "1.9"

[extras]
Aqua = "4c88cf16-eb10-579e-8560-4a9242c79595"
Test = "8dfed614-e22c-5e08-85e1-65c5234f0b40"

[targets]
test = ["Aqua", "Test"]

My source is:

module persistenttest

using libpng_jll

end # module persistenttest

My test is:

using Aqua, persistenttest
Aqua.test_all(persistenttest)

To my understanding, this example project should pass the check. I'm not sure what's happening with that log file not being created. Maybe because the jll is already precompiled?

Does the same problem occur with Aqua 0.8.4? In general, it should be safe to specify the compat as 0.8.

[lgoettgens]

I can replicate the issue with your Project.toml. However, updating the Aqua compat entry to a current version (e.g. =0.8.4 or even better 0.8) makes everything work again.

Ah sorry I didn't even notice I wasn't on the latest version. I was trying out downgradeci earlier and missed that
