Mix command errors in new project

Hello all, I just got a new work station and have been trying to set up a new Phoenix Project for an app I’m working on. However I’m running into an issue that I haven’t seen before. I’m able to run ‘mix phx.new hello’, but after I ‘cd hello’ and try to run any mix command, I get the following error:

$ mix
.exsCode.LoadError) could not load /Users/htran/Desktop/hello/config/dev
(elixir) lib/code.ex:1147: Code.find_file/2
(elixir) lib/code.ex:706: Code.eval_file/2
(mix) lib/mix/config.ex:187: anonymous fn/2 in Mix.Config.import!/2
(elixir) lib/enum.ex:1925: Enum.“-reduce/3-lists^foldl/2-0-”/3
(mix) lib/mix/config.ex:186: Mix.Config.import!/2
(stdlib) erl_eval.erl:680: :erl_eval.do_apply/6
(elixir) lib/code.ex:232: Code.eval_string/3

Following the installation guide, I’ve already installed Elixir, Erlang, Phoenix, Node and Postgresql. Is there anything I’m missing?

Not sure if this is relevant but this is my ‘mix -v’

Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.1.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:6:6] [ds:6:6:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe] [dtrace]

I wasn’t getting this kind of error on my previous work station, so I’m thinking I missed a prerequisite or something. Thanks in advance!

This is really weird…

Could you please tar your config/config.exs and push it to the repository? It has to be a file where the problem still persists.

Also please try to clone the project from GitHub and check if you still have the problem after cloning it. Git might normalize some things away in text files…

OK, seems like it, but it can’t find some file (/Users/htran/Desktop/hello/config/dev?). You may push the project into a public repo so that we can try it, if it works in someone else’s environment then it’s on yours.

Can you please try echo $MIX_ENV/ as well?

As the files seem to work for us, I’m pretty sure that it is something about your MIX_ENV environment variable…

The way, how the error message is printed:

.exsCode.LoadError) could not load /Users/htran/Desktop/hello/config/dev
^^^^                                                                 ^^^^^^

is very suspicious and makes me wonder why the file ending is printed on the beginning of the line. This is usually the case, when there is some stray \r in a printed string…

Last Post!

After doing this I was able to make new phoenix projects and they worked. Not sure if this was the fix or if pulling the project off of github did something to fix my environment.
