precompilation error on julia-1.6.0

[johnfgibson]

Interact fails to precompile on Julia-1.6.0. I just downloaded 1.6.0, installed a few packages, and got the following error on using Interact

  [c601a237] Interact v0.8.0

[johnfgibson]

After a couple weeks work with other things on julia-1.6.0, Interact now precompiles and works fine. I'm not sure what changed, but since I am no longer experiencing any problems, I'll close this issue.

I can confirm this issue still happens in 1.6. After looking at the log above, it looks like julia is pulling in an old version of Interact, namely version v0.8.0. Adding the latest version manually (as of time of writing) seems to "solve" the issue

EDIT: This leads me to believe it's a registry or package server-related issue, not an issue with Interact.

it looks like julia is pulling in an old version of Interact, namely version v0.8.0

same thing happened to me, using julia 1.6.2

When I run add [email protected], I get

   Installed Compat ─ v3.32.0

so it seems like something really wants the old Interact
