I’m using Julia 0.7 to run a piece of code and get the following error message,

WARNING: eval from module Plots to SIMB:

After searching from the internet, I found this related link:

I do not quite understand it. Plus, are there any updates about this issue?

If possible I’d suggest using julia 1.0 instead because Plots is no longer supporting version julia-0.7 and I’ve seen that combination cause issues for other people.

Yes, as far as I remember the fix for that issue was included after 0.7 compatibility was dropped.
However, having the issue at al indicates that your package depends on Plots, which it shouldn’t - it should depend on RecipesBase. What’s SIMB?

@mkborregaard, SIMB is a self-defined module in my own project. Thank you a lot!
