in Scope of Variables · The Julia Language it says What does this code do? Hint: it’s a trick question. The answer is “it depends.” If this code is entered interactively, it behaves the same way it does in a function body. But if the code appears in a file, it prints an ambiguity warning and throws …

it can hardly get any simpler than this s = 0 for i = 1:10 s += i end as it says in the documentation Scope of Variables · The Julia Language Obviously the intention is to modify the existing global variable s . What else could it mean? however, the in REPL 1.5.1 it causes warnings and er…

im on a mac, installed via the official process julia> VERSION v"1.5.1"

[image] goodluck: however, the in REPL 1.5.1 it causes warnings and errors Are you actually pasting the code at the REPL prompt (should have no warnings) or using include to run it from a file (should have warnings and errors)?

just found out, when running REPL from terminal => all ok when running REPL from juno (atom) => offending behaviour both belonging to the same (presumably) julia installation, 1.5.1

[image] goodluck: when running REPL from juno (atom) => offending behaviour So far, Juno has chosen not to implement this. soft global scope · Issue #174 · JunoLab/Juno.jl · GitHub It was very recently changed in vsCode: softscope on Julia >=1.5 by pfitzseb · Pull Request #1665 · julia-vsco…

omg, this is highly irregular i wish they would consider the impact on adoption of julia, from inconsistencies like that many thx for ur answer

https://github.com/JunoLab/Atom.jl/pull/351

so now im running the code in vscode, via a script (tst.jl) and as you point out, that should produce an error. and it does (see below). s = 0 # a global variable by the same name exists: s will be treated as a new local (in the loop) for i = 1:10 s += i # Assignment to s in soft scope is ambig…
