Precompiling of Econometrics fails about econometrics HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for your interest. I think that the problem is that you do not have StatsModels installed. I'm not an expert in all of the Julia package management possibilities. I believe that the best solution is to install the packages in the Econometrics Manifest.toml file. To do this, change directories so that the Econometrics directory is julia's working directory (or just download the Project.toml and Manifest.toml files to wherever is you julia working directory), and then do

] activate .

CTRL-C (to leave the package REPL)

Regarding testing, Econometrics is not yet at that stage of professionalism. It would be nice to get there some time. PRs would be very welcome for that.

After installing StatsModels v0.6.3, various issues with arrays appeared. The combination of installed packages that solves this is:

• RecursiveArrayTools v1.0.2
• ShiftedArrays#master
• StatsModels v0.6.3
• Array Interface v1.2.1

with build, update and test on these packages. Then Econometrics runs fine with loads of warnings on precompilation but still does not pass test because it is not declared in the Manifest.toml file.

Also two issues with upgrade to Julia 1.1. "linespace" has been deprecated for "range" and "eye" has been deprecated for "Diagonal()" or "Matrix()"...

I believe that the ] activate . method will take care of setting up the environment. eye() is a function defined in the Econometrics package. According to grep, the only occurrences of linspace are in old Octave/Matlab code, not in any Julia code. I don't plan on adding any serious testing in the near future, but I may do it at some point. So, I think that this issue can be closed. Thanks for the input, and please let me know if you have any problems.

I just verified that the following works without problems, using julia 1.3-rc1 with no packages installed, on Linux. This method is making use of the .toml files, as mentioned above. So, I'll close this issue now.

1. ] add https://github.com/mcreel/Econometrics.git
2. using Econometrics

One last comment, connectivity problems can interfere with needed software being downloaded, which can lead to error messages. If that happens, just do ] build Econometrics to retry.
