Failed to precompile JuliaFEM

[osullivryan]

Hello JuliaFEM Team!

Julia version: 1.3.1
OS: Ubuntu 19.1
JuliaFEM version: Latest

I am getting the following error when I attempt to import JuliaFEM:

julia> import JuliaFEM
[ Info: Precompiling JuliaFEM [f80590ac-b429-510a-8a99-e7c46989f22d]
┌ Warning: Package FEMBase does not have TimerOutputs in its dependencies:
...

I believe this is the same as #249, however that doesn't look to have been solved. Any ideas how I can get past this error and use the package?

Thanks!

] dev FEMBase
cd("~/.julia/dev/FEMBase")
] activate .
add  TimerOutputs

If it works, please make a pull request.

That gets me past the FEMBase TimerOutputs problem, however it leads to a TypeError problem:

julia> import JuliaFEM

I found a useful reference as JuliaFEM/FEMBeam.jl#24 and I verified its effectiveness. Based on the suggestion from this report, I changed all reported code (in error message to) add <:FEMBase.AbstractFieldSet as the first arg in Element(...), and finally "test JuliaFEM" can work with Julia 1.3 on WIN10 (although there are still some test failures reported). I think this issue could be fixed by adding an overloaded Element function (with <:FEMBase.AbstractFieldSet as the first arg) in package FEMBase, hope some one can help to implement it later.
