Open Street Map Example does not work in Agents.jl

General Usage
1

Hello, I am having difficulty running the Open Street Map for Agents.jl. In particular, CairoMakie does not compile, leading to the error below. I received the same error on Windows. The error also persists after downgrading CairoMakie to 0.11.x.

The newer versions of CairoMakie and OSMMakie could be tried on Agents.jl main, but it does not seem to be passing tests.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your julia version is too new for that version of Makie. Try going down to 1.10

Thank you!

I see that you are a developer for Makie. Do you happen to know the timeline for supporting newer versions of Julia?

The issue is that you are on an old version of Makie…this is probably because of OSMMakie.jl which is quite outdated. I’l take a look but there is probably not a firm timeline…

Thanks for looking into the timeline.
