Distillery build error: Multiply defined module: 'Elixir.Collectable.Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Stream'
Trying to build a Phoenix 1.4 application via Distillery, and hitting this error:
==> Release failed with multiple errors:
Multiply defined module: 'Elixir.Collectable.Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Stream'
I’ll note that this application is upgraded from Phoenix 1.3.4, and I did clean all the Elixir and Node deps and rebuild them prior to this run.
Google doesn’t seem to be much help with that error, my understanding is that it means the module is defined multiple times through more than 1 dependency. I don’t really know how to go about debugging/solving that issue though…
The verbose logs from the Distillery run are available here under the ‘Details’ of that post: Release build fails with 'No such module: asn1ct' error · Issue #627 · bitwalker/distillery · GitHub
Here’s my entire mix.exs if that helps any…

Wiping _build is something that shouldn’t need to be done, but there is still a bug or two in mix left where it is required. I’ve especially noticed it on rare dependency updates like you’ve experienced it here too.
You can actually backup the hot code reloading information if you so wish by backing up the _build/prod/rel/<project-name>/releases directory and restoring it. That directory holds the past release information. You can also copy it back in from where-ever you copied your release to, to restore it. ![]()

Ah, I had done “mix deps.clean --all” and “rm -rf assets/node_modules”, but not “rm -rf assets/_build”.
Removing _build and re-running the build process seems to have fixed the issue – good to know for the future!
Followup question: IIRC, Distillery uses stuff in _build when building upgrade releases, so if wiping _build becomes necessary, I guess that clobbers the option to do a hot upgrade?
