There's one in this issue
(https://github.com/dcjones/Gadfly.jl/issues/462), where the small
example is pulled from an older issue
(https://github.com/dcjones/Gadfly.jl/issues/189) that seems to
indicate that the same syntax worked ok in February.
The issue also has version information, in case we're using different
versions (but I updated and re-ran the test case before filing the
issue, so that seems unlikely).
There's another bug here (or maybe another symptom of the same bug)
which I find to be pretty weird. If I run Pkg.status() after having
run the test case in that issue, I get this error:
julia> Pkg.status()
ERROR: `convert` has no method matching convert(::Type{UTF8String},
::ASCIIString)
in convert at base.jl:13
in dir at pkg/git.jl:10
in git at pkg/git.jl:16
in success at pkg/git.jl:27
in iscommit at pkg/git.jl:44
in installed_version at ./pkg/read.jl:65
in installed at ./pkg/read.jl:122
in status at pkg/entry.jl:107
in anonymous at pkg/dir.jl:28
in cd at ./file.jl:20
in cd at pkg/dir.jl:28
in status at pkg.jl:28 (repeats 2 times)
That doesn't happen if I run Pkg.status() before I use `plot`, though.
So, plotting somehow redefines convert? If github's code search can be
believed, Gadfly never defines a convert method, so it's not through a
means that 's super obvious to me.
