LoadError: UndefVarError: #defVar not defined - julia

I have a piece of code about JuMP. When I run it ,it says that LoadError: UndefVarError: #defVar not defined. I have tried using global forward or backward but both fails.
See:
function T1(w_func,grid_b,β,u,z)
# objective for each grid point
for j in 1:cp.Nb
b = grid_b[j]
choice1 = Model(solver=GLPKSolverLP())
#defVar (choice1, a >= 0)
#setObjective(choice1, Max, u(a) + cp.β * (w_func.((b*(1+cp.r)+cp.w-a) .* cp.z[i])))
results1 = solve(choice1)
Tw1 = getObjectiveValue(choice1)
c_choice1 = getValue(x)
return Tw, σ
end
end
LoadError: UndefVarError: #defVar not defined
in expression starting at In[44]:37
Stacktrace:

It seems that you're using an outdated code. Look at the fresh documentation and make sure you have installed the latest versions of libraries and Julia.
In short, #defVar and #setObjective were replaced by #variable and #objective correspondingly.
function T1(w_func,grid_b,β,u,z)
# objective for each grid point
for j in 1:cp.Nb
b = grid_b[j]
choice1 = Model(solver=GLPKSolverLP())
#variable(choice1, a >= 0)
#objective(choice1, Max, u(a) + cp.β * (w_func.((b*(1+cp.r)+cp.w-a) .* cp.z[i])))
results1 = solve(choice1)
Tw1 = getObjectiveValue(choice1)
c_choice1 = getValue(x)
return Tw, σ
end
end

LoadError: MethodError: "Method too new to be called from this world context." in Julia

Can someone explain in simple terms why this error occurs and how it can be avoided except not placing the code in main in a function?
Please refer to question Improving the performance of SymPy function generated from string in Julia for the function string_to_func.
Works:
using SymPy
function string_to_func(function_string)
func_lambdify = lambdify(SymPy.sympify(function_string), invoke_latest=false)
#eval func(x, y, z) = ($func_lambdify)(x, y, z)
return Nothing
end
function_string = "x + y + z"
string_to_func(function_string)
result = func(1, 2, 3)
Throws Error:
using SymPy
function string_to_func(function_string)
expr = lambdify(SymPy.sympify(function_string), invoke_latest=false)
#eval func(x, y, z) = ($expr)(x, y, z)
return Nothing
end
function main()
function_string = "x + y + z"
string_to_func(function_string)
result = func(1, 2, 3)
end
main()

The applicable method may be too new: running in world age 29676, while current world is 29678.

You need to invoke func using Base.invokelatest, i.e.
function main()
function_string = "x + y + z"
string_to_func(function_string)
result = Base.invokelatest(func, 1, 2, 3)
end
See the manual for further details about world age and why invokelatest is needed here.
I should also mention GeneratedFunctions.jl that can avoid some of the overhead associated with invokelatest, although it has it is own caveats since its somewhat of a hack.

Why Julia gives error on very simple code?

I have a very simple Julia code:
x=0
for n in 1:10
x = x + n
end
println(x)
And it gives me an error:
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: x not defined
Stacktrace:

What should I check?
Julia 1.6.0 has changed how scoping mechanism within REPL so now this works
Basically your goal is to have the code in functions rather than "naked"
Version independent code could look like this (or you could use global as in the other answer):
let x=0
for n in 1:10
x = x + n
end
println(x)
end
Try this
x=0
for n in 1:10
global x
x = x + n
end
println(x)
This is related to the scope in JuliaLang.
For more info refer to this JuliaLang discussion.

How to pass a list of parameters to workers in Julia Distributed

with Julia 1.5.3, I wanted to pass a list or parameters to the distributed workers.
I first tried in a non distributed way :
using Distributed
#everywhere begin
using SharedArrays
solve(a,b,c) = return (1,2,3)
d_rates = LinRange(0.01, 0.33, 5)
m_rates = LinRange(0.01, 0.25, 5)
population_size = 10^3
max_iterations_perloop = 10^3
nb_repeats = 2
nb_params = length(d_rates)*length(m_rates)*nb_repeats
para = enumerate(Base.product(d_rates, m_rates, population_size, max_iterations_perloop, 1:nb_repeats))
results = SharedArray{Tuple{Int, Int, Int}}(nb_params)
end
for (y , x) in para
results[y] = solve(x[1], x[2], x[3])
end
which worked fine. And then changed the final loop to:
#sync #distributed for (y , x) in para
results[y] = solve(x[1], x[2], x[3])
end
I then got an error (truncated):
ERROR: LoadError: TaskFailedException:

Is it possible to pass such a list, if so how?
I assume that all your workers are on a single server and that you have actually added some workers using the addprocs command. The first problem with your code is that you create the SharedArray on all workers. Rather than that the syntax of a SharedArray is the following:
help?> SharedArray
SharedArray{T}(dims::NTuple; init=false, pids=Int[])
SharedArray{T,N}(...)
Construct a SharedArray of a bits type T and size dims across the processes specified by pids - all of which have to be on the same host. (...)
This means that you create SharedArray only once from the master worker and you can specify the workers that are aware of it using the pids argument (if you do not specify pids all worker processes have the access).
Hence your code will look like this:
using Distributed, SharedArrays
addprocs(4)
#everywhere using SharedArrays
#everywhere solve(a,b,c) = return (1,2,3)
#(...) # your setup code without #everywhere
results = SharedArray{Tuple{Int, Int, Int}}(nb_params)
#sync #distributed for (y , x) in collect(para)
results[y] = solve(x[1], x[2], x[3])
end
Note that you will need collect because #distributed macro needs to know the size of the Vector and it does not work good with iterators.

Why am I getting no method matching Complex(::Sym)?

I am having one function to be executed, it has been compiled but for the execution it shows me a MethodError, here is the function
For this function I'm using SymPy
function op_mat(op)
op = op.as_poly(domain="C")
op_a = op.x.gens
nab = op.length()
op_ab = ones(SymPy.Sym, nab)
coef = zeros(Complex, nab)
mat = zeros(Int64, length(op_a), nab)
for (i, (ps, c)) in enumerate(op.as_dict())
for (j, p) in enumerate(ps)
mat[j, i] = p
op_ab[i] = op_a[j]^p * op_ab[i]
end
coef[i] = c
end
return op_a, op_ab, mat, coef
end
The error message that I'm having is this one:
Complex(::T<:Number) where T<:Number at boot.jl:718
Complex(::Real) at complex.jl:16
Complex(::T<:Real, ::T<:Real) where T<:Real at complex.jl:12
...
Stacktrace:
[1] convert(::Type{Complex}, ::Sym) at ./number.jl:7

[3] op_mat(::Sym) at ./REPL[3]:13
[4] top-level scope at REPL[7]:1
since the type of c is Sym i should have only change the type to complex coef[i]=complex(c) or coef[i]=N(c)

My julia ray tracer returns StackOverFlowError

I'm trying to write a ray tracer in julia but my main function returns StackOverFlowError. Below is my main function:
function trace(ray::Ray, surfaces::Array{Any, 1}, depth::Int64, maxDepth::Int64)
material, t = findIntersection(ray, surfaces, Inf)
if typeof(material) == Empty
Vec3(0,0,0)
end
if depth > maxDepth
Vec3(0,0,0)
end
if material.isLight == true
material.emittance
end
normal = material.normal
ρ = material.reflectance
BRDF = ρ/3.14159
R = randHemi(normal)
cosθ = dot(R,normal)
newRay = Ray(ray.s + t*ray.d, R)
In = trace(newRay, surfaces, depth+1, maxDepth)
2.0*3.14159*BRDF*In
end
And here is my intersection function:
function findIntersection(ray::Ray, surfaces::Array{Any, 1}, tmin::Float64)
hitSurface = Empty(Vec3(0,0,0), Vec3(0,0,0), Vec3(0,0,0), false)
for surface in surfaces
t = intersect(surface, ray)
if t < tmin
hitSurface = surface
tmin = t
end
end
return hitSurface, tmin
end
But I receive this error:
StackOverflowError:
Stacktrace:
[1] findIntersection(::Ray, ::Array{Any,1}, ::Float64) at .\In[31]:10
[2] trace(::Ray, ::Array{Any,1}, ::Int64, ::Int64) at .\In[33]:2

What is the cause of error?
Your problem is that you missed a return.
What you meant to have was
if depth > maxDepth
return Vec3(0,0,0)
end
Without the return, that line just allocates a Vec3, and the code continues looping.
Stackoverflow error usually occurs when there are too many recursive calls. In a nutshell, in most programming languages there is a limit on how many recursive calls you can make.
In your example, the trace functions calls itself recursively and it can cause an stack overflow. You have a parameters maxDepth that can limit that. Setting it to a lower value will probably solve this particular issue.
