from my tests:

Something similar for me: I got this error during the precompilation:

pkg> precompile
Precompiling project...
  ✗ Pigeons → PigeonsForwardDiffExt

Oof! Thanks for reporting. I think this is due to a recent change in LogDensityProblemsAD.jl. Let me investigate.

[miguelbiron]

Scratch that -- this seems like it is due to a breaking change in 1.11.1 in the way get_extension works---in a patch version release...

[miguelbiron]

@thorek1 @astrozot the issue is now fixed in the main branch. Just waiting for Julia registrator to do its thing
