Hello,
I have Phoenix project mydatabase that connects to sqlite database using Ecto and it works perfectly, I have created a second project myserver which does nothing except including the first project as dependency
defp deps do
...
{:mydatabase, path: "path/to/mydatabase"},
...
when running myserver I had always an error :
you must provide a database...
That’s error means that the connection with database is failed, but when running just the first project everything works fine so where is the problem please ?
Where Next?

Hi @Sidi_Mohammed when you include a project as a dependency, none of that project’s configuration is imported. You need to re-create all relevant configuration in your
myserverproject.Last Post!

Exactly, thanks @benwilson512
