Pkg.add("HttpParser") gives ERROR: unknown package HttpParser

[cgoldammer]

There's a good chance I'm just doing something wrong here and this error has nothing to do with HttpParser. However, other packages install fine, so I just wanted to flag it. I also had no luck when cloning the repository through Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaWeb/HttpParser.jl").

julia> Pkg.add("HttpParser")

That is really weird! What happens with the Pkg.clone version?

[cgoldammer]

Using a clean REPL, I get

julia> Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaWeb/HttpParser.jl")
INFO: Cloning HttpParser from https://github.com/JuliaWeb/HttpParser.jl
INFO: Computing changes...
INFO: No packages to install, update or remove

[IainNZ]

Can you run Pkg.build("HttpParser")?

[cgoldammer]

That worked! Is the overall behavior still unexpected?

[IainNZ]

Oh yeah, definitely odd. I got no idea what thats about, would be interesting to see if it happens again. You'd need to nuke ~/.julia to test that though...

[cgoldammer]

It looks like so far, it's just me. How about we wait if someone else has this problem? If so, I'm happy to test further.

That include should really be guarded a la https://github.com/JuliaLang/ZMQ.jl/blob/732c7940f6c175b59ce8299c4a9975f7caa17e3c/src/ZMQ.jl#L6-L10 for a better error

May be some corrupt cloning of metadata or something? Did Pkg.init(); Pkg.update() go through properly?

[cgoldammer]

@tkelman: Thanks for the Yes, running Pkg.init(); Pkg.update() ran without problems. But I still can't add HttpParser (unless I follow the instructions by @IainNZ).

[tkelman]

Does ls -al ~/.julia/v0.3/METADATA show any sign of HttpParser? Was this package ever renamed from some different casing?

[tkelman]

sorry, that should be v0.3, missed which version you were on
