Julia plots error with errorbars in v0.29.0

I have been quite happily plotting graphs with errorbars in julia, but today it started to give me an error. I have tried searching for this issue but haven’t been able to find anything.

using Plots
plot([1,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4],yerr=[1,2,3,4])

Gives me the error:

MethodError: no method matching error_style!(::Plots.Attr)
Closest candidates are:
  error_style!(!Matched::Dict{Symbol,Any}) at C:\Users\padmer\.julia\packages\Plots\fGqyH\src\recipes.jl:817

I tried removing and the reinstalling the plots package but it still happens, it occurs both in REPL and a jupyter notebooks environment with pyplot, plotly and GR

I’m running Julia 1.3.1 and my Plots.jl version is v0.29.0 running on Windows 10

If I change the plots version to v0.28.0 then I no longer have this error.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

We merged a great improvement of recipes in RecipesBase, that appears to have had some unforeseen consequences. You can pin Plots to 0.28 and RecipesBase to 0.7 until this is resolved.

Okay great, thanks for the quick reply and sorry for my clearly incomplete search :slight_smile:
