PR for #54 Create run_julia wrapper

[jc-cisneros]

This pull request closes #54. The way to test the new run_julia wrapper is described in gentzkow/template_archive#68.

I also want to flag that the unit tests failed (see https://github.com/gslab-econ/gslab_make/actions/runs/3230092659/jobs/5288141596#step:5:368) because the test scripts were expecting the files with the extraneous characters (i.e., move_╬▓.txt) that were not compatible with the new Julia-capable conda environment. I will take a look at the test scripts and load the correct files.

A follow-up to the previous comment:

The error occurs when template_julia is active (the only difference with template is that it has Julia installed). The following screenshot is the error message I get when running python run_all.py with the master branch of the gslab_make submodule:

This error is also reported on this issue on the conda-forge GitHub. The template environment is using my local git installation, so the error is surely related to the MAC git discussed in the conda-forge issue. Julia's source code lives on GitHub, so it requires git as a dependency in the conda environment. Indeed the error is reproduced if -git is added to the template environment. Therefore we have the following choices:

• Removing the git package from the conda environment and use the local version. This is the current default in template (i.e., installing git locally and not on the conda environment). A possible caveat is that the "local" git might produce the same error in other OS.
• Adding the git package to the conda environment and removing both the files with extraneous characters and the gslab_make unit tests that tested the capacity to catch these characters.

I am inclined towards the second option, as any errors related to unicode/ASCII characters would be caught by git. Let me know what you think @gentzkow @snairdesai.

@jc-cisneros Seems you already tackled this, but I second that option (2) above makes intuitive sense.

Pending revisions to gentzkow/template #68 based on my latest review, this looks good to go @jc-cisneros!

Per revisions to #68 in gentzkow/template, this looks good to go. Thanks @jc-cisneros!
