I am working on a project in a module which I reference from a Jupyter notebook. As discussed [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/suppress-license-output-from-solver-in-jump-model/20828), I tried initialising the Gurobi environment with `const GRB_ENV = Gurobi.Env()`. It seems to initialise successfully as the module is loaded (I added print statements to confirm this), but once the module is loaded, the GRB\_ENV module contains a null pointer. Could someone please explain what is happening? Do I have to initialise this at the global scope and pass it in?

Maybe try initializing it in ` __init__ ()`? ([docs](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/modules/index.html#Module-initialization-and-precompilation-1))
