Hey. Long story short trying to add elixir to erlang project. Tried replace rebar3 with mix but with no luck. Now I’m trying add local elixir dependency to project. It kindly works. Problem is that every second run elixir part is not included.
Steps to reproduce:
$ rebar3 new app local_mix
$ cd local_mix
$ mix new ex_app
rebar.config:
{deps, [
{ex_app, {path, "./ex_app"}}
]
}.
{shell, [
% {config, "config/sys.config"},
{apps, [local_mix]}
]}.
{plugins, [
rebar3_path_deps,
rebar_mix
]}.
rebar3 shell'Elixir.ExApp':hello().- works- crtl-c
rebar3 shell'Elixir.ExApp':hello().- undefined function
if you run rebar3 shell once again it will work 
Tried to mess with both of the rebar plugins, but can’t figure it out what is happening during building.
Thanks for help!

Have you verified this is not an issue when using the
path_depsplugin withrebar_mix? As in, doing it only with hex elixir dependencies.fazibear
Looks like it is. Both plugins alone works fine. Tried to figure out what exactly is happening but with no luck.

Figured out something:
Now it’s working.
Now it’s not.
Just thinking but looks like
===> Upgrading ex_appline might remove app. And updating means “copying once again… but there is no compiled files anymore”Didn’t found anything it those plugins that removes old app
Why It leaves app uncompiled (without ebin)
Any thoughts? Thanks!
