My script fails at `using`

New to Julia

I don’t understand environments. :worried:

I’ve been avoiding trying to understand them for a while and just using Pkg.add willi-nilli. However, this morning I started getting new and unexpected issues without seeming to have made any changes to anything. This prompted me to investigate the use of environments. I’m now in a world of trouble!

I tried following the very simple instructions here.

I’ve created a new folder and added some packages:

(CityMaps) pkg> status
Status `C:\Users\TGebbels\...\Documents\DCMS Database\CityMaps\Project.toml`
  [336ed68f] CSV v0.10.14
  [35d6a980] ColorSchemes v3.24.0
  [5ae59095] Colors v0.12.10
  [a93c6f00] DataFrames v1.6.1
  [f5a160d5] GeoIO v1.12.13
  [dcc97b0b] GeoStats v0.56.0

In my global environment, I also have:

(@v1.10) pkg> status
Status `C:\Users\TGebbels\.julia\environments\v1.10\Project.toml`
  [6e4b80f9] BenchmarkTools v1.5.0
  [07503c7f] BritishNationalGrid v1.0.0
  [336ed68f] CSV v0.10.14
  [a93c6f00] DataFrames v1.6.1
  [864edb3b] DataStructures v0.18.20
  [e30172f5] Documenter v1.4.0
  [cd3eb016] HTTP v1.10.6
  [682c06a0] JSON v0.21.4
  [0f8b85d8] JSON3 v1.14.0
  [88034a9c] StringDistances v0.11.3
  [856f2bd8] StructTypes v1.10.0
  [5c2747f8] URIs v1.5.1
  [fdbf4ff8] XLSX v0.10.1
  [49080126] ZipArchives v2.1.0
  [a5390f91] ZipFile v0.10.1
  [ade2ca70] Dates
  [de0858da] Printf
  [4ec0a83e] Unicode

My very minimal mwe looks like this:

using GeoStats, GeoIO, CSV, DataFrames, Colors, ColorSchemes

Which generates the following:

I know I’ve screwed something up and I’m hoping it’s a simple fix. But I’m afraid I don’t know where to start!

You didn’t do anything wrong. I get the same error in a new temporary environment.

There seems to be a problem with one of GeoIO’s dependencies. I tracked the issue down to here. You will want to follow that issue for a fix. The current workaround seems to be to add snappy_jll@1.1.10 to your environment.

What a relief! Thank you so much @Nathan_Boyer!
