:results value not working; :results output working

[rebcabin]

I have julia installed by a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin/. I have many other languages working with :results value in org-babel (please see attached .spacemacs file, search for "julia" and for a bunch of other languages like Clojure and plantuml. In an org-babel block with "results value", I get something like the following

#+BEGIN_SRC julia :results value
rand(2,3)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:

and Code block returned no value in the emacs minibuffer. With :results output, i get the following

#+BEGIN_SRC julia :results output
rand(2,3)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: 2×3 Array{Float64,2}:
:  0.88332   0.805873     0.560745
:  0.571481  0.000716739  0.158407

so stuff is kinda working. I would dearly love to have :results value working, and I'm sure I've done something stupid in my configuration, but I can't see what. Would you be so kind as to help?

Here is my .spacemacs and configuration https://gist.github.com/rebcabin/d325740d2d68840cfdaac7710eebbbd5

I think that ob-julia is not maintained anymore. A fork has been created here, you might want to post your issue on this repo.

Oh, wow! I just checked the dates ... 6 and 7 years ago for the last commit! Ok, it's amazing that anything works at all. Thanks for the lead!

Yes, but it seems that your problem also happens with more recent forks (I could reproduce it). You have yet other forks out there on GitHub (another example here), I do not know which one is the most advanced to date.

I tried several forks, including the one hosted in MELPA. Given your repro, it seems that ob-julia is broken everywhere for now. I don't have time to debug it at the present. I was tooling up for serious work with Julia no earlier than the Fall; perhaps I may debug it then or perhaps the authors will have fixed it. Thanks for checking on your side!
