AssertionError: isfinite(phi_c) && isfinite(dphi_c)

[ErikLW]

Hi,
I have seen, that this issue has come up before, but since this was some time ago I thought it might be helpful to start another issue:
I am optimizing a function using the Optim package with uses LineSearch.jl for the line search. Can you explain to me how I should interpret the following error and what I could do to avoid it?
Thanks in advance

I'm facing the same issue. Any ideas what is causing this?
