I would be useful to

1. know the version of Optim.jl you are using,
2. see an MWE of what fails (apparently you are using some kind of IDE, but you don’t say what).

In any case, I would strongly recommend updating to Julia 1.2 and taking it from there. The version of Optim.jl that supports 0.6 is most likely to be very old.
