Julia v0.7 #21

Closed oliviaAB closed 5 years ago

oliviaAB commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering if you are planning at some point to allow using the package with Julia v0.7?

Thank you!

johnmchambers commented 5 years ago

Using 0.7 as a route to 1.0 will be desirable. I just don't know that I will have time to look at that for a few weeks at the least.

What do you mean by "allow"? Anyone can install XRJulia with any Julia. Presumably there will be some errors/warnings that will need to be taken care of.

So, reports and suggested patches would be much appreciated.

Hi, Thank you for your answer! Sorry "allow" was a poor choice of word. What I meant is that I installed Julia v0.7 and I couldn't get XRJulia to work because in v0.7 Pkg.add("JSON") doesn't seem to work. I must say that I was in a rush so I didn't investigate more and I re-installed v0.6.5, but when I have more time I'll definitively look into that and provide reports. Thanks again!

Hi, I tested the new version of XRJulia on Windows first. The initialisation of the julia Evaluator got stuck in the loop 

for(i in 1:300) {
      ## waiting for Julia proc. to establish connection
      Sys.sleep(.2)
etc

I couldn't pinpoint the problem so I went back to Ubuntu. With this new version of XRJulia there was no problem with julia 0.7, except that I had to install the module JSON manually in Julia. Thanks for the update!
