Did you ever resolve your issue? If not, I have something for you to try. Please let me know.

I am by no means a Julia problem solving expert so just a heads-up, but I had a similar issue for MONTHS and just resolved it today.

Please let me know what version of Julia and OS you are running. Cheers.

(I am Julia 1.5.3 and Windows 10 64-bit and primarily using Julia through Atom/Juno.)
