UndefVarError: @profview not defined

[bardo84]

Hi,
when running the package example, I get the following error

`
julia> using ProfileView

julia> @profview profile_test(1) # run once to trigger compilation (ignore this one)
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @profview not defined
in expression starting at REPL[10]:1
`

(@v1.6) pkg> st ProfileView StatusC:\Users\xxx.julia\environments\v1.6\Project.toml`
[c46f51b8] ProfileView v0.6.10

help?> @profview
No documentation found.

Binding @profview does not exist.

@bardo84 I am guessing you're using VSCode. If so, see #172.

Out of curiousity, which Julia version are you using? If you use 1.6 (highly recommended) it gives you an error

julia> @profview sum(1:5)
WARNING: both ProfileView and VSCodeServer export "@profview"; uses of it in module Main must be qualified
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @profview not defined

which seem fairly clear if you know what "qualified" means. But I'm guessing you must be using an older Julia that isn't as helpful?

Hi,
sorry, have a problem with github notifications.

if you know what "qualified" means.

Well, I don't and did not understand the Julia doc from its search with qualified main. Guessing: in a function, not main, ..

the example was run on 1.6. But get the same when running the full example on 1.7:

function profile_test(n)
     for i = 1:n
         A = randn(100,100,20)
         m = maximum(A)
         Am = mapslices(sum, A; dims=2)
         B = A[:,:,5]
         Bsort = mapslices(sort, B; dims=1)
         b = rand(100)
         C = B.*b
     end
 end
 
 using ProfileView
 @profview profile_test(1)  # run once to trigger compilation (ignore this one)
 @profview profile_test(10)

julia> 

ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @profview not defined   
in expression starting at o:\Julia\ProfileView_test.jl:15
in expression starting at o:\Julia\ProfileView_test.jl:15

But maybe most important

I am guessing you're using VSCode. If so, see #172.

Yes - Still open?

put the whole in a module, runs under VScode!

Qualified means "qualified by module": ProfileView.@profview vs VSCodeServer.@profview.
