putting module in develop mode

[frederikgeth]

Hi,

Thanks for this great package, it's a great contribution to the power systems research community! I'm trying to figure out the behavior and design of the module, and would like to put it in dev mode through the built-in package manager, i.e. ] develop PowerDynamics.

I get the following error, on mac (julia 1.5):

(@v1.5) pkg> develop PowerDynamics
    Cloning git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaEnergy/PowerDynamics.jl.git`
ERROR: failed to clone from https://github.com/JuliaEnergy/PowerDynamics.jl.git, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:OS, could not remove directory '/Users/get050/.julia/dev/PowerDynamics/.git/refs/remotes/origin/compathelper/new_version/2020-08-01-00-06-19-852-2271493462': parent is not directory: Not a directory)

and an almost identical error on Windows as well.

I can put other modules in dev mode successfully, so it seems to have something to do with the git config of this repo. The first google searches don't really lead to a solution (deleting .julia and/or its subfolders). Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Hey Frederik,
thanks for checking out PowerDynamics!
I did not try to reproduce your error right now but when I develop packages I alway use the command develop --local PackageName, see here. Eventually this helps?

can I close this issue, @frederikgeth?
