LoadError: syntax: missing comma or ) in argument list

Hi,

Gadfly, a dependency for PhyloPlots, seemed to be working fine last week, but now, when I try to do "using PhyloPlots" or "using Gadfly", I get this:

I am using Julia Version 1.3.0-rc1.0 (2019-08-18), on Mac OS X.

Cheers,
Nick

Can you check out the master branch of both Compose and Gadfly, i.e. in the REPL

# press ] in the REPL
(v1.2) pkg> dev Gadfly Compose

You're using Gadfly v1.0.1 due to hard caps on packages that I bumped in #1308.

Does that fix the problem? I plan on tagging a new release soon.

[Red-Portal]

@tlnagy I tried what you suggested but it doesn't help. Same error!

[bjarthur]

@nmatzke @Red-Portal did you try with a clean test environment?

i cannot reproduce this error on OSX with julia 1.3-rc4 and dev Gadfly and Compose in a fresh test environment:

(v1.3) pkg> activate test
