Error when I run for the first time my parallel code

Specific Domains Julia at Scale

Hi, when I run for the first time my parallel code the REPL give me this error

`ERROR: LoadError: On worker 2:

…and 6 more exception(s).

Stacktrace:

But I use the macro @everywhere with using SharedArrays, in fact, when I run the same code again, after this ERROR, it works normally. Is there a way to avoid this ERROR the first time that I run my code?

Could you post a minimal working example to illustrate how you’re getting this error? The following works for me on 0.7

julia> using Distributed

julia> addprocs(3)
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2
 3
 4

julia> @everywhere using SharedArrays

julia> A = SharedArray{Float64}((4,4,4),pids=[2;3;4])
4Ă—4Ă—4 SharedArray{Float64,3}:
[:, :, 1] =
