Error message using JuMP and NLopt

General Usage
1

Dear Julia experts,

I have been using JuMP and NLopt for an optimization problem about a year ago and in trying to rerun the code which worked, I am getting an error message. I have three non-linear constraints (I am only showing one here) and I am trying to register my function(the actual function is not shown) using JuMP.register and find maximum of the function.
Please see my code below along with the error message.

CODE :
p = 10
m1 = Model(solver=NLoptSolver(algorithm=:LN_COBYLA))

#- define variables
@variable(m1, a[i=1:p])
@variable(m1, b[i=1:p])

function myf1(a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7,a8,a9,a10,b1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,b7,b8,b9,b10)
##-- my own function --##
end

JuMP.register(m1, :myf1, 2*p, myf1)

@NLobjective(m1, Max, myf1(a[1],a[2],a[3],a[4],a[5],a[6],a[7],a[8],a[9],a[10],b[1],b[2],b[3],b[4],b[5],b[6],b[7],b[8],b[9],b[10]))
@constraint(m1, a’*a .== 1)

ERROR MESSAGE :
julia> JuMP.register(m1, :myf1, 2*p, myf1)
ERROR: MethodError: register has no method matching register(::JuMP.Model, ::Symbol, ::Int64, ::Function)
Closest candidates are:
register(::Symbol, ::Integer, ::Function, ::Function)
register(::Symbol, ::Integer, ::Function, ::Function, ::Function)

I tried to change the order to the candidates but cannot find the syntax that works.
Can someone please help me to fix the error?
Thank you.

What JuMP version are you using? On 0.16.2 I have a method matching that signature:

julia> methods(JuMP.register)
# 6 methods for generic function "register":
register(m::JuMP.Model, s::Symbol, dimension::Integer, f::Function; autodiff) at C:\Users\Evan\.julia\v0.5\JuMP\src\nlp.jl:1364

If I recall correctly, you also have to specify autodiff = true if you don’t provide a gradient function.

Thank you very much. I updated my JuMP package and the problem is solved.
