incorrect error message #22

Closed AshtonSBradley closed 6 years ago

AshtonSBradley commented 6 years ago

A simple syntax error when calling QuadGK returns an error giving the impression that QuadGK is not installed:

julia> using QuadGK

julia> g(x)=x^2
g (generic function with 1 method)

julia> quadgk(f,(0,1))
ERROR: quadgk(f, (0, 1)) has been moved to the package QuadGK.jl.
Run Pkg.add("QuadGK") to install QuadGK on Julia v0.6 and later, and then run `using QuadGK`.
Stacktrace:

This can cause quite a bit confusion for students learning Julia (and even some of the more familiar!).

By the way, great package!

This is a general problem with these deprecations, it should be a MethodError. This will go away in 0.7, but it's not practical to do much about it now.
