This came up before and I don’t think anything on our side is at fault here. [You could try reinstalling those apps](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67607643/what-does-this-warning-mean-it-happens-every-time-i-restart-the-node-process).

Your problem seems to be the: x  
Usual in Julia you don’t need the x-coordinate  
You can write:

```julia
using Plots
y=rand(10)
plot(y)

```

Or if you want/need the x-coordinate(like in Python)

```julia
using Plots
x=collect(1:10)
y=rand(10)
plot(x,y)

```

or complete Julia-like

```julia
plot(rand(10))
plot(collect(1:10), rand(10))

```

No, there’s no problem with the `x` coordinates here. Just using a range `1:10` works just fine, and is recommended over `collect(1:10)` as `collect` unnecessarily allocates an array here.

You are right of course that `1:10` are the default x values for plotting a vector of length 10 anyways so it can be left out.
