I am attempting to use Postgrex to connect to a PostgreSQL compatible dbase and cannot get start_link to work. I can access and link to dbase using PSQL in terminal. But following errors happen when trying to access through postgrex. I appreciate any thoughts !!
Getting the following error:
iex(1)> {:ok, pid} = Postgrex.start_link(hostname: "localhost", username: "postgres", password: "postgres", d
atabase: "postgres")
** (EXIT from #PID<0.220.0>) shell process exited with reason: exited in: GenServer.call(DBConnection.Watcher, {:watch, DBConnection.ConnectionPool.Supervisor, {DBConnection.ConnectionPool.Pool, {#PID<0.222.0>, #Reference<0.555474374.3344826369.140676>, Postgrex.Protocol, [types: Postgrex.DefaultTypes, hostname: "localhost", username: "postgres", password: "postgres", database: "postgres"]}}}, :infinity)
** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name
Here is the MIX dep
def deps do
[
{:httpoison, “~> 1.8”},
{:jason, “~> 1.3”},
{:postgrex, “~> 0.1”}
]
end
