Broken compatibility against new release of StatsModels (v0.6.0) about bootstrap.jl

[harryscholes]

Temporary fix:

pkg> add Bootstrap StatsModels@0.5

[juliangehring]

Closed with the release of v2.1.0.
I'll track the changes for making Bootstrap compatible with StatsModels v0.6 in #55.

Me too in StatsKit.

Here's the output from a fresh install of julia-1.1.1:

Thank for the report!
My time is unfortunately very limited over the next few weeks, but I'll try to look into it as soon as I can. Is working with any StatsModels versions <v0.6.0 an option for you as a temporary workaround?

Also with RCall:

using RCall;

[juliangehring]

Is RCall incompatible with Bootstrap or with StatsModels?

[proudindiv]

With StatsModels. The Bootstrap failure seems to be a separate incompatibility loaded from StatsKit.

I ran into both of them in my program that I'm working on.

(Sorry I wasn't clearer on that. I'm commenting in several issues threads.)

From my perspective, Bootstrap is incompatibile with the new version of StatsModels (0.6.0). I think it would be enough to add a compatibility requirement of StatsModels = "0.5.0" until you are able to update against their new version.

[mmolignano]

I see that there have been updates already committed and merged into the develop branch that add a Project.toml, as well as additional updates to remove the depracated REQUIRE file in #49. If these changes alone could be merged into master with an added compat statement that should allow us to use Bootstrap again until you get a chance to update against StatsModels v0.6.0.

[juliangehring]

As @harryscholes mentioned, pinning the StatsModels to anything pre v0.6.0 will resolve this for now.

[juliangehring]

This should get fixed with the v2.1.0 release.
