@ode_def not defined

Usage First steps
#1

I am using DifferentialEquations.jl in a Julia Notebook. The code starts as:

using DifferentalEquations
using ParameterizedFunctions

sir_ode = @ode_def SIRModel begin
     dS = -β*S*I
     dI = β*S*I-γ*I
     dR = γ*I
     end β γ

When executed, I get the error:

UndefVarError: @ode_def not defined

That does not seem possible. What can I do about it? Thanks.

#2

That doesn’t seem possible. uhh, what versions?

#3

You are correct, it does not seem possible. Here is a status list of precompiled binaries in Julia 1.4.

I just typed into my notebook (did the same in Atom):

MethodError: no method matching @ode_def(::LineNumberNode, ::Module)
Closest candidates are:
  @ode_def(::LineNumberNode, ::Module, !Matched::Any, !Matched::Any, !Matched::Any...) at /Users/erlebach/.julia/packages/ParameterizedFunctions/xErQf/src/macros.jl:2

which suggests that @ode_def was found. So I will try to use it again. But I am sure that what I reported happened.

I exited Jupyter and started it up again. The problem went away. As usual: “rebooting” solves many issues. Not elegant though.

Did your packages update mid-notebook? If you do that, you need a new Julia session to use the newer versions, so it could be something like that?
