Error message for missing project file could be improved

[logankilpatrick]

I am trying to do:

(@v1.6) pkg> add https://github.com/danielsuo/Crypto.jl
    Updating git-repo `https://github.com/danielsuo/Crypto.jl`
ERROR: could not find project file in package at `https://github.com/danielsuo/Crypto.jl` maybe `subdir` needs to be specified

and it fails. I tried a git clone locally and it worked without issue. My guess is that the project structure is causing the issues?

It looks like per here: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/error-could-not-find-project-file-in-package-at-https-github-com/44059 you can't add a package without a Project file, perhaps the error message wording could be improved?

Ehh, maybe that error message is fine, I still have not had coffee yet so will let it sink in and revisit

We could change project file to Project.toml file, if that helps?

[logankilpatrick]

Yeah, that will do the trick

It could be called JuliaProject.toml as well which I guess maybe is why it is just called project file. On the other hand, no one uses that so perhaps it is fine to just hard code Project.toml.
