Schelling interactive exploration example ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: `MakieLayout` not defined about agents.jl HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @arisliang

I think the simplest solution is to update to the v6 version of the library, it is still unreleased, so you need to use ]dev Agents to install it...actually you need to wait till #949 is resolved (just if you want to use deprecated methods, which is not good anyway :D) which should happen quickly, I verified it works after merging that pr

The breakage is probably due to the release of Makie 0.20

from agents.jl.

Actually the ui for registering includes choosing a branch https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages, so we can probably add a new branch with commits until 5.17.1 + a new commit fixing the problem and release it, not entirely sure this is the right procedure though because I've never done it

from agents.jl.

@Tortar thank you very much for pointing to the right direction.

While waiting for the v6 to be out (current latest v5.17.1 is released half year ago), is there any previous version whose plotting doesn't have this issue?

Assume we don't need the latest features from either Agents nor any of its dependencies.

from agents.jl.

To solve this issue on previous versions it woul be enough to specify in project.toml that Makie 0.19 is required.

However, I'm not sure at the moment how to backport only some commits without doing something drastic: e.g. move all the other commits to a new branch (v6 branch) and add this one and release a new version.

Maybe there is a way to specify to registrator to pull from a branch different from main where we add only this commit?

Maybe your expertise with release cycles @Datseris could help in this?

Yes, that is correct.

from agents.jl.

Now it should be good, solved by adding dependencies at compatible versions in main...fix-agents-again, your example now works with the released version

from agents.jl.

Thanks for the fix.

The fix needs v5.17.2 right? A bit confused on how to update it, is it directly ]update? Unfortunately it's not updating to v5.17.2 in this way.

When use ]status --outdated -m, it shows:

⌃ [46ada45e] Agents v5.17.1 (<v5.17.2)

A bit confused by this status. On one hand, it shows Agents is upgradable to v5.17.2, on the other, it's not updating when use ]update.

After another addition ]add [email protected], Agents is upgraded to v5.17.2.

from agents.jl.

Yes, I think that it doesn't update automatically because it needs to downgrade Makie, but this is strange to me too, I thought it would have done it automatically actually. Maybe if you activate an environment it will work
