Load error with Parsers.Options

[erickb]

I cannot precompile CSV v.0.10.11 using Julia v1.7.2 and Parsers v2.7.1. (I also tried downgrading to Parsers 2.5.0 but got the same error). Here is the error:

Note: The depot is in a nonstandard location (C:\ProgramData\NEMO\), but that has never been a problem before, including with earlier versions CSV (and in particular with CSV 2.4.)

Hello, this is blocking me and colleagues from running a program that relies on CSV files and is important to our work. Is there a version of CSV that I should revert to that does not conflict with Parsers?

Also, if the problem is not replicable that would be good to know. Our team has tried to look for conflicts with other packages but so far it seems to be solely a problem with CSV's use of Parsers.

Thank you.

One thing I know has happened to people in the past is somehow their editor tooling is loading, for example, the JSON package which also depends on Parsers and a certain version gets loaded. Then when CSV loads, it's the wrong version compat-wise and you get an error like you're showing. If you're on Julia 1.9, can you show the output of pkgversion(Parsers) and pkgversion(CSV)? We can also do some additional investigating, but it seems like something is out of sync from the recent groupmark support in both Parsers and CSV, so perhaps @LilithHafner may also have an idea of what's going on.

Thanks very much @quinnj. I'm on Julia 1.7, so I used Pkg.status() and get v2.7.1 for Parsers and v0.10.11 for CSV.

Thanks again for the tip @quinnj: I may have found the culprit. I'll close and reopen if this doesn't solve it.
