Topic: Import Error in VS Code


Joseph Fletcher (Jul 03 2023 at 03:00):

I followed the setup instructions for Lean found at https://leanprover-community.github.io/install/windows.html and then set up the Mathematics in Lean tutorial. Everything seemed to work fine, but when I open 02_Overview.lean or any other files with imports, I get the error unknown package 'data' in the Lean infoview. I double-checked everything and I don't think I missed any steps. I can see mathlib in the lake-packages folder, so I don't know why it's not working. Can somebody help me out?

Did you clone the mathematics_in_lean repository, not mathematics_in_lean3?

I have also been getting this same error :(

I installed mathematics_in_lean on a fresh linux machine. Curious, I've seen posts saying that the error is from using Lean3 instead of Lean4 but those commands are in the github repository itself: https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathematics_in_lean/blob/master/MIL/01_Introduction/02_Overview.lean

That is indeed lean 3 code which is presumably erroneously in a lean 4 repository

Clearly, something went very wrong on our end. I'll investigate immediately.

I'm really sorry about that mess. The deploying script took old stuff lying around my working copy on this computer. It should be all fixed now.
