I get this:

what is wrong?

How do you get this? I.e. what’s the MWE that leads to these warnings being displayed?

3

Chances are that you include file “irrationals.jl” in two separate places in your code.

4

I never explicitly include irrationsl.jl, I only import Packages that might use it.

5

Hence my question for what you’re doing to get this warning - without an MWE, all we can do is list potential sources of the problem, like Francois did, but that’s not a very efficient way of working this out.

I know, sry I will try to post a MWE

It can be hard to make a MWE for these sorts of errors such that others can reproduce. In the past, I used to get these sorts of warnings when I kept a lot of packages in my main v1.6 environment. Ever since I’ve started keeping only a very minimal v1.6 environment (only Revise, BenchmarkTools, etc) and adding packages mainly to project environments, I don’t see these warnings any longer. So I suspect it’s related to challenges with correctly stacking environments.

I never experienced this issue until I started using DifferentialEquations, which causes the issue rather often (no MWE, I know). Creating a new environment does the trick, but sometimes one needs an env with a bunch of packages, unfortunately.
