When reporting an issue, please provide

  1. the Emacs version (M-x emacs-version [RET], will also appear in the buffer *Messages*),
    v28.2

  2. the Julia version (VERSION)
    v1.8.3

  3. the version of julia-repl (something like “latest master” is fine).
    Melpa "bleeding-edge"

  4. self-contained steps to replicate the issue.
    Here is my snippet for julia-repl configuration:

(require 'julia-repl)
(add-hook 'julia-mode-hook 'julia-repl-mode) ;; always use minor mode
(setq julia-repl-executable-records '((default "C:\\bin\\julia\\bin\\julia.exe")))
  1. Error message:
Warning (emacs): could not capture basedir for Julia executable C:\bin\julia\bin\julia.exe

is julia in the path? what happens when you start from the terminal as julia.exe?

Thanks for the fast response, I guess I have spent now more then 5 hours to get it into operation.
I have a cmd file in the path.julia.exe fails. julia and julia.cmd succeeds.

C:\Users\stefanpofahl>julia.exe
Der Befehl "julia.exe" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

P.S.:
I propose to set up a heavily commented init.el some where.
Could I send you mine for peer-review?

Can you set up an executable record (see the readme) which points to the cmd file directly?

Thanks for the suggestion! I did, but it does not change the situation.

I've sent a PR, which fixes this problem. However there is another problem that prevents julia-repl to work on Windows :-(. The term backed runs all its processes via /bin/sh, which doesn't exist on Windows. I'll open a new issue for that.

I am closing this issue since you can now use the eat backend.

Feel free to comment if you think it is still relevant and I will reopen.
