How to fix this elm-repl error

[dedo]

I had my 0.15.1 install working fine on OSX. Then I think I may have deleted an Elm file somewhere (not sure). Now I get this when I try to evaluate anything in elm-repl:

elm-make: elm-package.json: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

I re-installed 0.15.1 and still get this error. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

What installer are you using?

What is the content of the directory you are running elm-repl in?

I used the standard OSX installer on elm-lang.org.

It's my home directory and has a bunch of things (including a .elm folder). Anything specific I should look for?

When I run elm-repl in other directories I do not seem to hit this problem.

Thanks!

Are all of the following statements true?

When you run elm-repl in ~/ which is the home of the ~/.elm directory, it fails with this error.

In any other directory, there is no problem.

This is independent of whether a elm-package.json file exists in the directory or not before running elm-repl.

Yes, those are all true.

A bit more info. I just used the uninstall shell script, then reinstalled elm using the OSX installer. The repl problem persisted unchanged.

Then I did: elm-package install evancz/elm-html (in ~).

This reinstalled elm-package.json & elm-stuff, and appears to have fixed the REPL problem. 

So I'd guess I had removed one or both of elm-package.json & elm-stuff earlier, causing the repl error.

Thanks.
