import @with_kw from Parameters inside my own package

Question

I have created my own Julia package and I am new to such practices.

I previously had this code:

using Parameters
@with_kw mutable struct MWE @deftype String
mwe1 = "default" ; @assert mwe1 in ["default", "1", "2"]
mwe2 = "test"
end

Which worked well. Now that I put it into my package, replacing using with import, I have the following error:

julia> import MyPackageMWE

ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @with_kw not defined

Any ideas what went wrong? Maybe it is related to @macros?

Answer 1

I don't know the package Parameters but it may be that if @with_kw is exported in Parameters then if you replace

using Parameters

with

import Parameters

then you should change @with_kw with Parameters.@with_kw
