Is Revise forcing my dev-ed package to precompile each session even when no changes?

[IanButterworth]

A package I’m develop-ing precompiles every time I start a new session irrespective of if any changes took place. I’m using Revise.jl, is that perhaps forcing re-precompillation?

(I have also tried to force precompillation off with __precompile__(false) which still results in precompillation, which I think might be a known bug)

[IanButterworth]

This doesn't seem to be caused by Revise so I'm closing it, but I'm not sure how to resolve this issue

Only thing I can think of: make sure all your dependencies are declared in Project.toml or REQUIRE and then make sure you call pkg> resolve in your primary environment.

[timholy]

Another possibility: does it use a package that declares __precompile__(false)?

[IanButterworth]

All dependencies are declared in Project.toml and pkg> resolve claims nothing to update.

The package does declare __precompile__(false) but it precompiles repeatedly when no change for both __precompile__(false) and __precompile__(true)

It's worth saying that I have VideoIO.jl as a dependency, which also gets repeatedly precompiled each time also.

What's your Julia version? I believe this was a bug fixed in 1.0.1 or 1.0.2.

[IanButterworth]

I see this in both 1.0.2 and 1.1.0-DEV.655 (2018-11-13)
On OSX

Please report as a Julia bug.

Ok I just commented on JuliaLang/julia#28384
