🤷‍♂ I need more to go on than that. I cannot reproduce given when you've shown. There's no error message or anything? Is this directly in the REPL?

from sparsedifftools.jl.

The error is only present in https://mybinder.org/ environment. With my local Julia 1.2.0 everything is fine. Only julia environments provisioned with mybinder fail to precompile OrdinaryDiffEq due to SparseDiffTools precompilation error. The error can be reproduces if you provision a simple notebook in mybinder
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/davidanthoff/bindertest/master?filepath=src%2Fmain.ipynb
add a new cell and run:

using Pkg; Pkg.add("SparseDiffTools")
using SparseDiffTools

Other DiffEq packages (e.x. DiffEqBase) precompile in mybinder without errors

from sparsedifftools.jl.

It looks like I can isolate it to:

using Pkg; Pkg.add("BlockBandedMatrices"); using BlockBandedMatrices

which means it's upstream issue in BlockBandedMatrices.jl

from sparsedifftools.jl.

Yes, you are right, thanks! Latest versions of BlockBandedMatrices fail to precompile in mybinder.
The latest working version is BlockBandedMatrices v.0.4.6. How can I force OrdinaryDiffEq and SparseDiffTools to use BlockBandedMatrices v.0.4.6 in mybinder as a workaround?
I guess we can close the issue and "move" it to BlockBandedMatrices?

from sparsedifftools.jl.

Yes, let's move it over to there. Please ping me because I'd like to continue to follow this. I am not sure what could be causing it, but if @dlfivefifty is doing fancy things with BLAS that might be doing it.

from sparsedifftools.jl.

Sure, JuliaLinearAlgebra/BlockBandedMatrices.jl#45
