Optim: MethodError: no method matching zero

[F-YF]

When I do optimization calculations with the Optim package, an error occurred. The type of A1,A2,A3,A4 is ::Array{Complex{Float64},2}. I don’t know how to solve it.
Is there a way to make optimize() support this type?Or what data type can replace this type and serve as optimize()?

If anyone else finds this, I encountered this issue when u0 was (erroneously) set to Vector{Vector}. If someone finds the time, it would be great to implement a more descriptive error message, if possible.

Can you be a little more specific？

MWE:

using Optimization, OptimizationOptimJL

my_func(x, p) = x[1]^2 + x[2]^2
my_grad!(G, x, p) = begin
    G[1] = 2*x[1]
    G[2] = 2*x[2]
end
of = OptimizationFunction(my_func; grad=my_grad!)
op = OptimizationProblem(of, [[1.], [1.]], ())
solve(op, LBFGS())

yields

Some type information was truncated. Use `show(err)` to see complete types.

The fix is

op = OptimizationProblem(of, [1., 1.], ())

because the given u0 was of wrong type.
