There is a use case where you have a weak dependency (for one of your extensions) that is misbehaving and you quickly want to try debug that issue. A workflow that feels reasonable for this could be: ``` pkg> dev WeakDependency # do some fixes in this dependency julia> using Package, WeakDependency # this loads the extension of Package triggered by loading WeakDependency # check that things work ok now ``` This doesn't work right now for two reasons: 1. Doing the `dev WeakDependency` will add the dependency to `[deps]` but not remove it from `[weakdeps]` which means you all of a sudden are in the scenario described in https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/creating-packages/#Transition-from-normal-dependency-to-extension which is not what is desired. 2. The extension will not actually load because you can right now only trigger extensions from weak deps getting loaded, not from deps getting loaded. Point 1. is fixed by JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#3865 Point 2. is fixed by this PR.

I've been running into this on 1.10 - Would it be possible to get a backport? |
