My tests pass for Julia 1.10: [Adapt to new KiteModels, using new conventions · aenarete/KiteControllers.jl@dd84a3f · GitHub](https://github.com/aenarete/KiteControllers.jl/actions/runs/11540890813/job/32122247240?pr=39) and fail for Julia 1.11:

I do not really understand why. This might be related to my use of PyPlot, which works for Julia 1.10 but not for Julia 1.11.

I tried to convince Julia to use the pre-installed version of Python and Matplotlib using the step:

```julia
      - name: Install matplotlib
        run: if ["$RUNNER_OS" = "Linux"]; then sudo apt-get install -y python3-matplotlib; export PYTHON=$PYTHON_PATH; fi
        shell: bash

```

but perhaps that is not compatible with:

```julia
    steps:
      - name: Install matplotlib
        run: if ["$RUNNER_OS" = "Linux"]; then sudo apt-get install -y python3-matplotlib; export PYTHON=$PYTHON_PATH; fi
        shell: bash
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: julia-actions/setup-julia@v2
        with:
          version: ${{ matrix.version }}
          arch: ${{ matrix.arch }}
      - uses: julia-actions/cache@v2
      - uses: actions/cache@v4
        env:
          cache-name: cache-artifacts
        with:
          path: ~/.julia/artifacts
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-test-${{ env.cache-name }}-${{ hashFiles('**/Project.toml') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-test-${{ env.cache-name }}-
            ${{ runner.os }}-test-
            ${{ runner.os }}-
      - uses: julia-actions/julia-buildpkg@v1
      - uses: julia-actions/julia-runtest@v1
      - uses: julia-actions/julia-processcoverage@v1
      - uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4

```

Any idea?

Locally the tests pass, both for Julia 1.10 and Julia 1.11.

OK, I changed my CI.yml so that PyPlot is no longer an issue. But still, on Julia 1.10 it says:

```julia
 Testing Precompilation of test environment failed. Continuing to tests

```

But on Julia 1.11 it just terminates and does not run the tests. Why?
