REPL does not have StyledStrings in its dependencies

[fatteneder]

From https://discourse.julialang.org/t/error-while-running-julia-executable/109699

I can reproduce this on 3d8b107. Likely caused by 6e7db14712efbacca0569b1ac25e5fd7484d8906..

It works when using the locally built depot:

JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=<git-repo>/usr/share/julia ./julia

This is an annoying issue which comes from the combination of REPL not being in the sysimage and the active project being used to look up the dependencies. You can either use a temp depot like that, activate the v1.11 environment and do a resolve or delete it or we have to figure out a better solution.

[fatteneder]

... , activate the v1.11 environment ...

This does not work, because REPL throws the same error when attempting using Pkg.
And ] doesn't do anything.

... or delete it ...

This works too.

[KristofferC]

This does not work, because REPL throws the same error when attempting using Pkg.

You need to load Pkg in this "empty" env as well.

rm ~/.julia/environments/v1.11/Manifest.toml && ./julia --startup-file=no should do it, no?

rm ~/.julia/environments/v1.11/Manifest.toml && ./julia --startup-file=no should do it, no?

This worked for me, thanks a lot

[KristofferC]

... should do it, no?

well yes, but then you get rid of all your package versions which you might not want

This seems to break the VS Code Julia extension on nightly Julia: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/cant-start-language-server-with-nightly-julia-package-repl-does-not-have-styledstrings-in-its-dependencies/110071

I think we should have a special mode for loading REPL and Pkg that attempts to do so with the given environment stack, and if it is unable to it prints a warning and uses only @stdlib. This way we still allow users to override their REPL and Pkg versions as needed, but if things are broken, you still get a functional Julia.

The nightly CI for SHA.jl also ran into this problem.
