Unsure what this error message means

Exception ‘MethodError: no method matching +(::Base.RefValue{Any}, ::NamedTuple{(:contents,), Tuple{Matrix{Float64}}})

…’ occurred while calling julia code:
optimization(x0)

hmm, what code generated this error?

Is this optimization function from a package, or has it been defined somewhere else in your code? And what’s the value of x0 here?

Showing us more of your code, and also pasting a more complete stacktrace of the error, will help a lot with figuring it out.
