There does not seem to be a convenient way to download data for all countries. In this regard, note that WDI lumps countries together with regions, so there should be some way to download one set without the other.

An error is generated if I try to download data for one year by specifying the same start and end year.

The code:

total_population_2015 = wdi("SP.POP.TOTL", ["BR", "RU", "IN", "CN", "ZA", "US"], 2015)

to search for the population sizes of the listed countries in 2015 returns this error:

UndefVarError: displaysize not defined

Any suggestions?

PackageEvaluator.jl is a script that runs nightly. It attempts to load all Julia packages and run their tests (if available) on both the stable version of Julia (0.3) and the nightly build of the unstable version (0.4). The results of this script are used to generate a package listing enhanced with testing results.

On Julia 0.3

• On 2014-11-01 the testing status was N/A - new package.
• On 2014-11-01 the testing status changed to Tests fail, but package loads.

Tests fail, but package loads. means that PackageEvaluator found the tests for your package, executed them, and they didn't pass. However, trying to load your package with using worked.

This issue was filed because your testing status became worse. No additional issues will be filed if your package remains in this state, and no issue will be filed if it improves. If you'd like to opt-out of these status-change messages, reply to this message saying you'd like to and @IainNZ will add an exception. If you'd like to discuss PackageEvaluator.jl please file an issue at the repository. For example, your package may be untestable on the test machine due to a dependency - an exception can be added.

Would you mind releasing the updated compat bounds?

This package worked like a charm a few weeks ago. Tried to use it today and received this error:
LoadError: error compiling get: error compiling setup_easy_handle: could not load library "libcurl"
libcurl: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please help!

Hello @4gh . I recently stumbled upon your WorldBankData repository, which I found very helpful! Hence, I started to update the code, in order to reflect some of the more recent updates to Julia and DataFrames, and further modified caching bevahior and output format (it now uses TimeData objects as default). I also added additional tests and modified the documentation. You can find the results of my modifications here.

I now would like to update the code in the official Julia package environment to make it accessible to others as well. Also, I would like to change the WorldBankData repository url in METADATA.jl such that it points to my repository, such that I am able to modify it myself in order to maintain the package. My question hence is whether you would agree to these changes?

Also, I'd kindly modify citation / credits in any way you like to, such that your contribution becomes obvious. Hence, if you would like any changes / extensions to the current acknowledgements, please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards
Christian Groll

I would like to reference this Julia package in a journal publication. What information could I use.

Thanks,

Juan.
