Optim fails test?

General Usage
1

Hello, I get the following error when I test Optim. When I try to use the package with “using Optim” I get an error regarding “printf”

Package Optim errored during testing

Does anyone know what is going on here?

We might need more information. When I try Optim 1.7.4 on Julia 1.8.4, the tests pass and I can successfully load Optim into a new session. Can you provide the version info for Julia, Optim and other packages you are using with Optim?

I’m going to start by updating Julia!

It looks like your version of optim might be really old. You might also try ] update to update.

Also, the stacktrace shown in the first message is just the generic stacktrace of Pkg failing the tests, you didn’t show the actual failure in the tests.
