[BUG] RecipesBase and RecipesPipeline fail to precompile

[gortibaldik]

Details

I cannot precompile Plots due to errors in precompiling RecipesBase and RecipesPipeline:

Precompiling project...
  ✗ RecipesBase
  ✗ RecipesPipeline
  ✗ Plots
  0 dependencies successfully precompiled in 3 seconds. 204 already precompiled.

What is the output of

(@v1.8) pkg> st -m Plots RecipesBase RecipesPipeline

?

Same problem here: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/error-precompiling-plots-recipesbase-jl-607-needs-to-be-placed-at-the-top-level-or-use-eval/91694/1

In fact this breaks my complete CI: https://github.com/j-fu/VoronoiFVM.jl/actions/runs/3703661391/jobs/6275372947

[gortibaldik]

I tried julia versions 1.8.2, 1.8.3 and the stable release 1.6.7 always the same result

[ValentinKaisermayer]

] add RecipesBase@v1.2.1

[t-bltg]

What is going one here ? 🔥

This is probably induced by a new version of SnoopPrecompile (released two hours ago, sole dependency of RecipesBase).

JuliaDebug/SnoopCompile.jl@d11c578

A temporary fix might be to pin SnoopPrecompile to the previous release ] add SnoopPrecompile@1.0.1.

I think we should yank the broken SnoopPrecompile release.

[gortibaldik]

Should I close the issue as it is related to SnoopPrecompile ?
