Hi all,
I’m taking the Elixir/OTP course over at Developing With Elixir/OTP (Pragmatic Studio). When I run my file with elixir <path-to-file> all is well. However, I defined a module and ran iex -S mix and after that, the compiler throws errors saying the module cannot be imported. I rolled the code back and the error persists. I deleted the _build directory with no success. The module is defined in plugins.ex as follows:
defmodule Servy.Plugins do
import Logger
def rewrite_path(%{path: "/wildlife"} = conv) do
%{ conv | path: "/wildthings" }
end
def rewrite_path(%{path: path} = conv) do
regex = ~r{\/(?<thing>\w+)\?id=(?<id>\d+)}
captures = Regex.named_captures(regex, path)
rewrite_path_captures(conv, captures)
end
def rewrite_path(conv), do: conv
def rewrite_path_captures(conv, %{"thing" => thing, "id" => id}) do
%{ conv | path: "/#{thing}/#{id}" }
end
def rewrite_path_captures(conv, nil), do: conv
def log(conv) do
Logger.info "Inspecting conversation map..."
IO.inspect conv
end
def track(%{status: 404, path: path} = conv) do
IO.puts "Warning: #{path} is on the loose!"
conv
end
def track(conv), do: conv
end
and it is imported in handler.ex as follows:
defmodule Servy.Handler do
@moduledoc "Handles HTTP requests."
@pages_path Path.expand("../../pages", __DIR__)
import Servy.Plugins, only: [rewrite_path: 1, log: 1, track: 1]
...
Any ideas what’s going on?
TIA.

Update: when I run
rm -rf _buildin my project home directory, and then I runiex -S mix, the app is recompiled successfully and I can import all modules iniex. However, running a standalone file usingelixir path/to/filestill produces the error “** (CompileError) lib/servy/handler.ex:6: module Servy.Plugins is not loaded and could not be found”Any ideas as to what’s going on?

You shouldn’t execute files as scripts using
elixirwhen you are inside a mix project.mixhas all the context of your project files and will automatically compile and load the files in it,elixiron the other hand only knows about the files you pass to it directly on the command line, that’s why it cannot find theServy.Pluginsmodule.To run the code inside your project you should use
iex -S mixlike you already do or using themix runtask.dubesoftware
Thank you, this did solve the issue. I also double-checked the video lesson and found a rather similar explanation.
I’m glad that this turned out to be a PEBKAC and not worse.
