The example for `mesh` (and my own personal examples) are not working

[http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery//fem\_mesh\_2d/index.html](http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery//fem_mesh_2d/index.html)

Previously it worked fine, but now I get this error:

```julia

Anyone else having any problems?

It seems `ComplexPhasePortrait` was restricting me to `v0.9` of `AbstractPlotting`.

After removing the dependency, I upgraded to the new version. Now this error goes away, but instead I get the following error:

```julia
ERROR: Plotting for the arguments (::Array{GeometryTypes.Point{2,Float64},1}, ::Array{GeometryTypes.Point{2,Float64},1}) not defined for arrows. If you want to support those arguments, overload plot!(plot::arrows{ <: Tuple{Array{GeometryTypes.Point{2,Float64},1},Array{GeometryTypes.Point{2,Float64},1}}})

```

Now it’s no longer possible for me to find a `Makie` configuration in which all my plots work.

It seems the upgraded version broke everything, including the downgraded versions too.

Yesterday, I also have problem after the update. Makie cannot even recompile. Updated again today - seems OK. Perhaps retry update?

I have an issue with Makie and respecting the upvector. I started an issue about it.  
I updated Julia from 1.4.0 to 1.4.2 and have attempted to update all of my packages. When running the ] test Makie, I get 11 fails and then the test has an IOError on symlink.  
IOError: symlink: operation not permitted (EPERM)

My issue was resolved since then.
