@which macro shows local path but click through link is broken

[waltsims]

I was playing with the @which macro, which returns the local path of the function in pluto.jl but the click through link forwards to a broken github link.

e.g.

(::Type{LinearAlgebra.Diagonal})(A::AbstractArray{T,2} where T) in LinearAlgebra at /{local_path}/julia/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.5/LinearAlgebra/src/diagonal.jl:36


@which Diagonal([1 2 3])

but the clickthough link forwards to: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/tree/96786e22ccabfdafd073122abb1fb69cea921e17//usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.5/LinearAlgebra/src/diagonal.jl#L36 (a broken link)

Is this not an issue with Julia?

[waltsims]

At least for me, Julia in the commandline doesn't offer a hyper link and the path given is the local source file. In pluto, there is a hyperlink.

Alright, I just cross-checked in IJulia and the same happens there. Must be a mistake with Julia. My mistake.

[fonsp]

This used to work at some point, at least for methods(Base.sqrt)

[dralletje]

It does work for some functions - from Base for example

[fonsp]

Maybe it works for Base, but not for the standard libraries?

[waltsims]

That specification isn't made in the docs.

I think we can close this here at any rate. I will reopen in the Julia repo.

Okay,

repr(MIME"text/html"(), @which Diagonal([1 2 3]))

should reproduce the bug in the REPL/in a script.
