I’m having trouble with the GR backend for Plots
using Plots
[ Info: Precompiling Plots [91a5bcdd-55d7-5caf-9e0b-520d859cae80]
Your GR installation is incomplete. Rerun build step for GR package.
ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: InitError: Evaluation into the closed module `GR` breaks incremental compilation because the side effects will not be permanent. This is likely due to some other module mutating `GR` with `eval` during precompilation - don't do this.
I tried
Pkg.build("GR")
Start a new project and see if it works in a fresh environment?
Is that done using ```
Pkg.activate()
It wouldn't stop indexing that so I changed it, and now Plots won't work, and it still won't stop indexing.
How do I restore the default?I tried creating a new file, and restarting VS Code, I’m not sure I know what starting a project is.
julia> mkdir("test")
julia> cd("test")
julia> import Pkg; Pkg.activate(".")
Then add Plots and see if it works.
I didn’t write Pkg.activate("Plots"). I wrote Pkg.activate("."). Please read the instructions
It won’t recognize makedir, and when I tried to change to an existing directory
cd("C:\Users\Brett\Documents\tutorialandests")
it says ERROR: syntax: invalid escape sequence
apologies, i mean to write mkdir. It’s fixed.
You need to use raw"filepath\with\backslashes for working with file paths on windows.
ERROR: syntax: “/” is not a unary operator
What version of Julia are you on?
1.5.2 I’m downloading 1.5.3 now
I should have v1.5.3 set up.
You should ] build Plots again. But I don’t really know how to help beyond that.
Pkg.build(“Plots”) ?
It’s building GR, and that’s what was giving trouble, so that should be a good sign.
Yes
