Global Method Error

[arnavs]

Sometimes I get this error when using NamedTuples in a function.

ERROR: syntax: Global method definition around C:\Users\Arnav Sood\.julia\packages\Parameters\rOe8Q\src\Parameters.jl:596 needs to be placed at the top level, or use "eval".

The line in question is

(::typeof($NT))($(args...)) = $nt

This is on v10.2 and

Can you post MWE? Otherwise this will be tricky to track down. Thanks!

[mauro3]

Can you report whether this still occurs in Julia 1.1?

[arnavs]

Must have missed the earlier comment r.e. MWE.

Sure, will investigate in Julia 1.1

@mauro3 Still see it.
