I am getting a get\_color\_palette undefined in the `Plots` module after an update. Here is the `update`:

I am how precompiling everything. Question: is is possible to precompile a single module? Right now, `Juno` is precompiling `DiffEqOperators`, which takes a long time, and then `DynamicHMC`, and then … . Is there not way to be more selective on what gets recompiled? I do not need all my modules every time I use Julia. Thanks.

It seem you have added all your dependencies to the global environment. If you instead work with project-dependent environments, as discussed [here](https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1.1/environments/), you can add only the packages you need for a certain project. Then the updates and precompilations should be much quicker.

Ok, I will read. I had no idea about this option.

```

`Plots` was precompiled correctly. And yet, I still get the error:

```julia

I do not understand. This has to do with an update to `Plots`. Of course, I could write a new function, but am not quite sure how to proceed. This is somewhat disconcerting since the error occurs within a simple plot command such as

```julia
plot([1,2,3],[4,5,6])

I have created a special project, and plot still cannot find the `get_color_palette` method. At this stage, I have no idea how to proceed. It is really hard for me to understand how `Plots` could pass its `tests` since `plot([1,2,3],[4,5,6])` does not work. That is about as minimal as it gets. 🙂

I think your approach basically looks fine. I don’t use Plots.jl myself, but maybe e.g. @mkborregaard could chime in?

```

which produces a plot like this

`get_color_palette` seems to work for me:

```julia
julia> Plots.get_color_palette
get_color_palette (generic function with 2 methods)

```

Which version of Plots.jl do you have? ( `] st Plots`)  
Did you try quitting and restarting Julia?

I have the same problem: my previously working code for plotting is not working anymore and results in the error message `MethodError: no method matching get_color_palette(::Symbol, ::RGBA{Float64}, ::Int64)` The version of Plots is v0.25.3. I have tried installing a later version via `using Pkg; pkg"add Plots@1.2.2"` but it hasn’t helped, so I have downgraded back. What else can I try?

Why 1.2.2? Isn’t the latest release 1.5.4?

Which Julia version are you on? Plots now requires Julia \>=1.3

I am on Julia 1.0.4 and have done the entire project in it. Working towards a deadline at the moment, I would like to avoid changing the version of Julia. In my case the change has happened, I believe, due to the installation of two new packages (InvertedIndices and Clustering). Is there a way to fix things back to how they were working before?

Only if you checked in the Manifest of your project’s environment somewhere I believe and can recover it - this would have the exact versions/commits of all packages as they were the last time you worked on this.

Generally one has to be careful when adding/removing packages to an environment one would like to keep preserved as much as possible, cf the discussion here: [Pin all packages of a project](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pin-all-packages-of-a-project/39308)

Also while I appreciate that now might not be a great time for you to change Julia versions, 1.0.4 is quite outdated at this point and you’re missing out on **a lot** of improvements (not least on compile time/general snappiness of use). As it is still part of the v1 major series, there shouldn’t be major breaking changes so updating might be less painful than you think, so I’d probably just install 1.4.2 real quick an try running the code there!
