Pluto.jl: Pluto fails to run Julia 1.5.3 on Windows Server 2016, Windows 10

[AmitXShukla]

I did a fresh Julia 1.5.3 install on two different different windows machine, added Pluto, and Pluto.run() fails to run Julia.

It opens a new notebook but pwd() or any julia command spins forever
Pkg.instantiate() didn't make any difference either.

Thanks for the report! Just to be clear:

on two different different windows machine

These are Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, both did not have Julia or Pluto installed before, and both failed with this same error?

[AmitXShukla]

Right, two different windows machine, fresh Julia download, never had Pluto before, throw similar error when Pluto.run().

These are Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, both did not have Julia or Pluto installed before, and both failed with this same error?

I had exactly the same issue a few days ago with Julia 1.5.2 portable on Windows 10 and Pluto v0.12.16. I went back to Pluto v0.12.9. (v0.12.15 also didn't work.)

Thanks @SteffenPL, I will downgrade to v0.12.9 until this issue is resolved.

Hi there,
I had the same issue when starting Pluto within an activated project. Pluto was added just to this active project, but not in to the default v1.5 environment.
Once I added Pluto to the default environment as well, the error was gone.

Environment: Windows 10, Pluto v0.12.17, Julia 1.5.3

Cheers

Genius.. It worked. Closing this issue.

It's fixed in the next release
