"Error Importing Custom Julia Package: UndefVarError: Zygote not defined Despite Dependency Declaration"

I’m trying to import a developed package, but I get the following error:

julia> using RandomProjections
[ Info: Precompiling RandomProjections [acf8f2c6-418f-403f-a7f7-d35fd4a663f5]

I’m not quite sure why, since Zygote is listed in my dependencies:

name = "RandomProjections"
uuid = "acf8f2c6-418f-403f-a7f7-d35fd4a663f5"

Not defined likely means you’re missing using Zygote somewhere in the code itself?

I have it

module RandomProjections

export RandomProjection, apply_defining_function, get_powers, homopoly, linear_projection, poly_projection, circular_projection, random_slice, get_slice, max_rand_proj, max_rand_proj_with_nn

using Flux
using Zygote
using Random
using LinearAlgebra
using ProgressMeter
using Memoize

Hmm. What at line 117, where it is pointing?

Yes, sorry, first line is 117

Zygote.@nograd function get_powers(dim::Int, degree::Int)
    """
    Generates the powers of a homogeneous polynomial.

    Example:
    get_powers(2, 3) -> [(0, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 0)]
    get_powers(3, 2) -> [(0, 0, 2), (0, 1, 1), (0, 2, 0), (1, 0, 1), (1, 1, 0), (2, 0, 0)]
    """
    if dim == 1
        return [(degree,)]
    else
        result = []
        for value in 0:degree
            for permutation in get_powers(dim - 1, degree - value)
                push!(result, tuple(value, permutation...))  # Concatenating the current value with the permutation
            end
        end
        return result
    end
end

I wonder if having the exports before the usings is doing something?

Other than that, I assume you’ve tried reloading the REPL?
