[BUG] histogram error

[smartinsightsfromdata]

Details

Update

I installed Julia 1.6.5 and reinstalled Plots. This seems to work. It may be that the problem is connected with 1.7.1. Unfortunately I'm too new in Julia to go any deeper into the problem.
It would be useful to understand if others have the issue...

===

My code: comes directly from the help (!)

using Plots
histogram([1,2,1,1,4,3,8],bins=0:8)  

I get:

The function body AST defined by this @generated function is not pure. This likely means it contains a closure, a comprehension or a generator.

I also tried:

using Plots
x = rand(100)
nbins = 50
histogram(x, bins=nbins)

And here I get:

I get the same with StatsPlots. So far I can have an histogram only with Pyplot if I use it outside of Plots.

Apologies. I ended up to report this twice by mistake. See #4060
