Currently getting the following error from this line:

Just ran into this too. I think this problem will fix itself once the new AssetRegistry changes come in, as Pkg.dir() won't be as special.

[djsegal]

@sounds good.

Also, @Stefan suggested we use something like: @__DIR__

Similar code is:

// but maybe with some more ../'s in it

using AssetRegistry seems to be the only / sane way to locate assets in the face of Pkg3. I'm blocked on doing file locking on windows...

Julia v0.7. Cannot build WebIO with Pkg3. I get the same errors with: using AssetRegistry, Pkg and Pkg.build() etc. It would be nice when this is fixed!

@togo59 the relevant blocking issue is JuliaWeb/Mux.jl#64
