Compat between released version of WebIO (0.8.13) and JSExpr not properly registered?

[tkoolen]

In an empty project on Julia 1.3, I add WebIO and then add JSExpr. status -m shows that the resolver has given me WebIO v0.8.13 and JSExpr v1.0.1. However, WebIO.jl's Project.toml for version 0.8.13 contains

WebIO.jl/Project.toml

Line 38 in e160f95

JSExpr = "0.5"

which I understand should be interpreted as [0.5.0, 0.6.0). Could it be that the 0.5 bound somehow didn't make it into the PR to JuliaRegistries/General? I see that it was merged manually, so it appears to me that there's room for error there.

Thank you for flagging. The actual issue is a bit more complex that I realized.

JSExpr v0.5 depends on WebIO, but in v1.0, we dropped the dependency (and were planning on reversing it for WebIO v1.0). I forgot that WebIO doesn't actually depend on JSExpr though when I added the compat entry.

I'm not sure what the solution to this is. For now, pinning JSExpr to v0.5 works. Sorry for the issues!

Should be "fixed" by JuliaRegistries/General#7165.
