Hi Xiaozhu,

Sorry, could you please tell me how I can see if that is the line of code
that is failing? I believe that should be the one because the error message
I am getting apparently comes from the *setenvPreload *function, but I am
not 100% sure,

At first, I tried to install the current master branch but I got an error
with the *CodeCoverage *example where it said that couldn't find it so, I
decided to use your tagged versions instead and that problem did not appear
to me again,

Thanks

Alberto Olmo.
