Sorry if I wasn’t clear, and for not linking the PR: I suggested a change to the documentation ( suggest using Plots.__init__() (#750) · JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl@9b6b461 · GitHub ) and that was incorporated in the documentation. (I haven’t used Julia in a while so I am not sure if things work as of now with the suggested changes; note, though, that there also seemed to be issues with the creation of sysimages that include Plots: Sysimage creation example with plots does not seem to work and PackageCompiler spins infinitely when compiling sysimage · Issue #825 · JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl · GitHub ).
