Quarto `engine: julia` does not preview/render with Julia 1.11

[hurak]

Bug description

Even the simplest Quarto qmd document does not run (both preview and render fail) after Julia was upgraded from 1.10 to 1.11.

Steps to reproduce

The version 1.11 just installed. Within an empty directory I created (activated) a brand new Julia environment. I created this single qmd document and tried to preview/render it using Quarto.

Quarto v1.6.24

Reproducing the error when a Julia code is run in a Quarto document.

```{julia}
a = 1
```

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

This is the error message I receive upon trying to run preview or render

I can reproduce on my side too with same error.

It could be a problem in https://github.com/PumasAI/QuartoNotebookRunner.jl

@jkrumbiegel we need your help. Thank you !

I think the problem is that julia 1.11 changed the signature of the function Pkg.is_manifest_current() to Pkg.is_manifest_current(path::AbstractString)

in fact that's the error I get:

nputs

I guess just changing to look for the manifest in the current dir could be a solution and say Pkg.is_manifest_current(".") instead

julia> Pkg.is_manifest_current(".")
true

I think the problem is that julia 1.11 changed the signature of the function Pkg.is_manifest_current() to Pkg.is_manifest_current(path::AbstractString)

That was also a problem but I fixed that a while ago, you're probably on an older quarto version.

quarto-cli/src/resources/julia/ensure_environment.jl

Lines 17 to 21 in e51b07e

	is_manifest_current = @static if VERSION < v"1.11.0-DEV.1135"
	Pkg.is_manifest_current()
	else
	Pkg.is_manifest_current(dirname(Base.active_project()))
	end

The error here is different and tracked in PumasAI/QuartoNotebookRunner.jl#190

[floswald]

I'm on the latest quarto version (august 2024). I can see your commit is from early july. sure that ever got merged? or do I have to build quarto from source to get this? thanks

[jkrumbiegel]

The change is only on the 1.6 prerelease versions as far as I can see. You can download these under Github releases or here for example https://quarto.org/docs/download/

[floswald]

Arg...should have gotten that myself. Sorry.
Thanks so much for this new way of using Julia in quarto, it's a game changer for me!

[jkrumbiegel]

No worries :) glad it's useful!

[mcanouil]

To be clear, 1.6 is a pre-release and is not officially released as "stable" at this point.
