I’m using a Docker image that has Erlang/OTP 20. If I use a version of Elixir compiled with OTP 19, can I expect the same bytecode output when I compile my dependencies, as if I had an Elixir compiled with OTP 20?

I want to make sure I don’t have any issues when my Elixir version was compiled with a different OTP version than my system is running.

Elixir compiled with OTP19 should work on OTP20 (else it’s a bug), however not the reverse.

while it should work going that way..

I would really recommend absolute dev/staging/production parity - even so pedantic down to exact patch version..

you can use something like asdf version manager · GitHub on your dev box to install the appropriate versions on a per project level..

Bob is as official as anything from the hex-team. And you can also build from elixir and Erlang directly from git, by tag, branch, or sha, but as I’m on mobile I can’t lookup the necessary syntax right now. But I remember it was only documented as a generic feature of asdf and not in the asdf exixir plugin repository.

Yep and if you want to install Elixir compiled with a certain (major) version of Erlang with asdf, you can do something like asdf install elixir 1.6.0-otp-20 :slight_smile:
