Julia: unintended extension of base functions
I have the following, incomplete Julia code:
mutable struct Env
end
function step(env, action:UInt32)
return ones(8), 1.0, true, Dict()
end
function reset(env)
return ones(8)
end
When I try to use it, I get the following errors:
LoadError: error in method definition: function Base.step must be
explicitly imported to be extended
LoadError: error in method definition: function Base.reset must be
explicitly imported to be extended
I don't know what Base.step and Base.reset are, and I don't want to extend them.
Is there some way for me to keep these function names without extending the base functions? If I do just extend the base functions with my completely unrelated methods, are there going to be problems?
I really do not want to change the names of my functions because I want to keep them in line with the OpenAI Gym API.

Define them inside a module like this
module Gym
mutable struct Env
end
function step(env, action::UInt32)
return ones(8), 1.0, true, Dict()
end
function reset(env)
return ones(8)
end
end
Then you can call them directly as step and reset inside the module. Outside the module you have to qualify them like this: Gym.step and Gym.reset.
Additionally - note that you get this problem only after you introduce step and reset in Main module before trying to extend them (e.g. by calling or referencing them). So when starting a clean Julia session this will work:
