How to create new Genie Application?

Question

I am trying to create new Genie application, as follows:

julia> Genie.newapp("MyGenieApp")

But, getting the following error:

Thank you for reporting this, it is a bug and I was able to re-produce it: https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl/issues/402

I believe this is an issue with Julia 1.4.x and Genie. I was able to get this working with Julia 1.6.x. You can download a new Julia Version here: https://julialang.org/downloads/ which should resolve the issue.

With Julia 1.6 installed you can update Genie to v.3.3.0 and create an app using

using Genie

Genie.newapp_mvc("Watch tonight", dbadapter= :SQLite) 
""" DB adapter as mentioned is SQLite could pass MySQL and so on..."""

or

Genie.newapp("MyGenieApp")

as logan mentioned in the issue: Pkg did not have LibGit2 in Julia 1.4
