ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package Compat does not have Dates in its dependencies:

• You may have a partially installed environment. Try Pkg.instantiate() to ensure all packages in the environment are installed.
• Or, if you have Compat checked out for development and have added Dates as a dependency but haven't updated your primary environment's manifest file, try Pkg.resolve().
• Otherwise you may need to report an issue with Compat Stacktrace: 1 macro expansion @ ./loading.jl:1167 inlined2 macro expansion @ ./lock.jl:223 inlined3 require(into::Module, mod::Symbol) @ Base ./loading.jl:1144 4 top-level scope @ ~/.julia/packages/Compat/sZEKP/src/Compat.jl:8 5 include @ ./Base.jl:419 inlined6 include_package_for_output(pkg::Base.PkgId, input::String, depot_path::Vector{String}, dl_load_path::Vector{String}, load_path::Vector{String}, concrete_deps::Vector{Pair{Base.PkgId, UInt64}}, source::String) @ Base ./loading.jl:1554 7 top-level scope @ stdin:1 in expression starting at /Users/stef/.julia/packages/Compat/sZEKP/src/Compat.jl:1 in expression starting at stdin:1

I'm completely new to Genie and maybe I forgot to do something with the modules (they are added to the REPL environment) or does it have to do with the upgrade to 1.9?

it looks like you need to instantiate the packages. In the REPL, enter Pkg mode with ]and then do

(@v1.9) pkg> resolve
(@v1.9) pkg> instantiate
```

I did that but to no avail. Anyway, I guess that starting the server through the plugin UI in VS Code uses the same environment as the REPL I start alongside it.

you need to share more information. What's the app/any MWE. What is it that you are running

GenieBuilder App, Genie App, Stipple App?

it's hard to debug by looking at just the error. However the error is quite straight. I have been using Julia 1.9 release candidate for 2+ months and everything looks fine on my side so will need more input to debug this

I managed to solve the problem. I had changed the path to Julia 1.9 in the Julia plugin of VS Code but not in my $PATH, which is used by the GenieBuilder plugin. That one was still using Julia 1.8.5.
