Loading Interpolations.jl breaks complex number arithmetic on Julia 1.8.1

[mtenders]

Hi,

I'm running Interpolations.jl with Julia 1.8.1. I get an error when I run the following (supposedly) simple code:

julia> using Interpolations

julia> a = Complex[1, 1]
2-element Vector{Complex}:
 1 + 0im
 1 + 0im

julia> b = Complex.([1,1])
2-element Vector{Complex{Int64}}:
 1 + 0im
 1 + 0im

julia> a .* b .- b
ERROR: - not defined for Complex{Int64}

I tested the same example with Julia 1.7.2 and it seemed to work just fine. Also the following examples don't give me any erros:

julia> a .* b - b
2-element Vector{Complex{Int64}}:
 0 + 0im
 0 + 0im

julia> a .- b
2-element Vector{Complex{Int64}}:
 0 + 0im
 0 + 0im

Everything works normally if I don't load Interpolations in the beginning. Do you have any idea where this is coming from?

[mkitti]

Huh... I'll investigate.

Do I understand correctly that the issue does not occur with Julia 1.7 even if you load Interpolations.jl?

If you have some time, could you try an earlier version of Interpolations.jl to bisect the issue?

[mtenders]

Yes, it does not occur when I load Interpolations.jl in Julia 1.7.

I tried around a bit and I don't get any errors going back to v0.13.3.

Going back to v0.13.3 also downgrades some of the dependencies. They don't get updated automatically going from v0.13.3 to v0.13.4. I only get the error when I upgrade the dependencies to their newest version (see below), after going to v0.13.4.

  [d360d2e6] ↑ ChainRulesCore v0.10.13 ⇒ v1.15.5
  [9e997f8a] + ChangesOfVariables v0.1.4
  [34da2185] ↑ Compat v3.46.0 ⇒ v4.2.0
  [ffbed154] ↑ DocStringExtensions v0.8.6 ⇒ v0.9.1
  [3587e190] + InverseFunctions v0.1.7
  [2ab3a3ac] ↑ LogExpFunctions v0.3.0 ⇒ v0.3.18
  [276daf66] ↑ SpecialFunctions v2.1.3 ⇒ v2.1.7

The problem seems to come from ChainRulesCore.jl. I get the same error, when I just load ChainRulesCore.jl instead of Interpolations.jl.

I filed an issue with them (JuliaDiff/ChainRulesCore.jl/issues/588).

this problem seems solved?
