Hi!

I am new to Julia and I would like to learn it. When I try to run the code below

```julia
using Flux, BSON

model = Chain(
    Conv((3, 3), 1=>16, pad=(1,1), relu),
    MaxPool((2,2)),
    Conv((3, 3), 16=>32, pad=(1,1), relu),
    MaxPool((2,2)),
    Conv((3, 3), 32=>32, pad=(1,1), relu),
    MaxPool((2,2)),
    x -> reshape(x, :, size(x, 4)),
    Dense(288, 10),
    softmax,
)

BSON.@save "foo.bson" model

```

I get

> ERROR: LoadError: type Method has no field sparam\_syms

Please, how could I fix this?

I running Julia 1.2.0 in the Atom 1.38.1 environment on MacOS. Flux v0.9.0, BSON v0.2.3

Thanks

Are you able to resolve this? Apparently it should be fixed with BSON v0.2.4, but I’m restricted to 0.2.3 for some reason, on both Julia 1.2.0 and 1.1.1.
