Coverage fails on travis Ci with julia nightly

[philoez98]

Hello, while trying to build with travis and Julia nightly it fails with this stacktrace:

I know that Julia nightly is not supported yet, but maybe this will give some insight on the problem.

In my case, it is working with macOS but not with Linux. However, the macOS commit (f6049d6d25) is behind the Linux one (d95841934a). Thus, comparing them, this bug was created by this commit:

JuliaLang/julia@cef655a

which removed the match_data field from Regex.

@ronisbr thanks! I forgot to specify, this happens on Linux.

[philoez98]

As of today it fails also with macOS with the same error.

Please provide a link to a Travis log highlighting the failure.

Note that Coverage.jl does not use match_data itself, so whatever this is, it seems unlikely to be caused by Coverage.jl.

Aha, it is in HTTP.jl, which Coverage.jl uses, see here: JuliaWeb/HTTP.jl#430

[philoez98]

HTTP.jl fixed the problem on their part and now Coverage.jl works as expected on every platform. I'm closing this issue now.
