Precompilation error: missing DataFrames dependency on MacBook Pro M1

[duribebe]

Description

I encountered a precompilation error with VariantVisualization, indicating that it's missing the DataFrames dependency.

To Reproduce

1. Install VariantVisualization using Pkg.add("VariantVisualization").
2. Run Pkg.precompile("VariantVisualization")

Error message:
julia> Pkg.precompile("VariantVisualization")
Precompiling project...
✗ VariantVisualization
0 dependencies successfully precompiled in 1 seconds

ERROR: The following 1 direct dependency failed to precompile:

VariantVisualization [7f8bf45c-0ad5-53b5-97e6-33c1305e0aa4]

Failed to precompile VariantVisualization [7f8bf45c-0ad5-53b5-97e6-33c1305e0aa4] to /Users/danieluribe/.julia/compiled/v1.8/VariantVisualization/jl_hyQbjm.
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package VariantVisualization does not have DataFrames in its dependencies:

• You may have a partially installed environment. Try Pkg.instantiate()
  to ensure all packages in the environment are installed.
• Or, if you have VariantVisualization checked out for development and have
  added DataFrames as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
  environment's manifest file, try Pkg.resolve().
• Otherwise you may need to report an issue with VariantVisualization

I have the same problem on windows 11!
Any ideas?

It worked for me to install the "dev" version, see the bottom of the README file. (I wanted to install in dev mode to try to fix it, but it just worked right away)

julia
]dev VariantVisualization

I think it would probably work to install the master version as well

julia
]add VariantVisualization#master
