That's odd because I can't see any use of Associative https://github.com/JuliaCollections/DataStructures.jl/search?q=Associative&unscoped_q=Associative

Any idea?

Kind regards

This build https://travis-ci.org/JuliaCollections/DataStructures.jl/jobs/415434609#L790 shows also this problem.

[StephenVavasis]

There is mention of Associative in docs/src/sorted_containers.md. Clearly this should be fixed. I already have a pending PR (#426) to make some changes to that file. After that PR is merged, I can make another PR to change Associative to AbstractDict as well. But could an occurrence of Associative inside a string in a doc file cause this error?

[scls19fr]

I don't think a string in a doc file (without macro) can cause that

I think this is
https://github.com/JuliaCollections/DataStructures.jl/blame/6941c2922756d8c5e19e24d23815405daebbbc56/docs/src/sorted_containers.md#L695
which cause that

but we should also change Associative where it makes sense

[scls19fr]

I just changed the Associative to AbstractDict in order to fix #436

However, other mentions of Associative in doc should be changed.

[laborg]

Those aren't mentioned anymore.
