Ecto 3.0 apparently incompatible with mariarex - mysql

Questions / Help

Hi there, I’m new to elixir. I’m trying to create a simple phoenix app with MySQL connection.
I’m using everything default that comes from the bundle.

Whenever I try running the application, I get this error:

function Ecto.Adapters.MySQL.Connection.child_spec/1 is undefined or private

Here’s some more details of the error:

I’ve searched for a similar problem and from what I see, it seems that ecto 3.0 is apparently incompatible with mysql, but I can’t be sure.

Here’s how my deps look like:

defp deps do
    [{:phoenix, "~> 1.2.1"},
     {:phoenix_pubsub, "~> 1.0"},
     {:phoenix_ecto, "~> 3.0"},
     {:mariaex, ">= 0.0.0"},
     {:phoenix_html, "~> 2.6"},
     {:phoenix_live_reload, "~> 1.0", only: :dev},
     {:gettext, "~> 0.11"},
     {:cowboy, "~> 1.0"}]
  end```

Any ideas?

Ecto 3 has not been released yet. The latest version is ecto 2.0.5 (or 2.1 rc.4). (phoenix_ecto 3.0 depends of Ecto 2.0 I believe. Confusing? Yes :slight_smile: )

Ecto 2.0 should be compatible with Mariaex, see: GitHub - elixir-ecto/ecto: A toolkit for data mapping and language integrated query.

Have you run mix deps.update to make sure you have the correct versions?
Ecto.Adapters.MySQL.Connection.child_spec/1 was added in Ecto 2.0 so it looks like you have 1.1 or similar.

I can reproduce the error. For a temporary fix while we investigate, please add the following to your deps list:

{:ecto, "~> 2.0"}

Thank you @josevalim and @Linuus your both suggestions worked very well for me. It’s interesting though that inside Phoenix 's entrails comes bundled that ecto v.3.0. It should come bundled with a 2.0 if that 3.0 is not working, correct?

Thanks again!

Phoenix does not come with Ecto 3.0 as a dependency because Ecto 3.0 does not exist :slight_smile:

It comes with phoenix_ecto 3.0 which integrates phoenix and ecto in some nice ways. However, phoenix_ecto 3.0 depends on ecto 2.0 as you can see here: https://hex.pm/packages/phoenix_ecto/3.0.1

Ecto 2.0 is working with Mariaex, since it worked when you added Ecto 2.0 as an explicit dependency. However, there is something odd going on here as @josevalim stated in his post. They will hopefully figure it out soon and fix it :slight_smile: In the meantime, just add the dependency on Ecto explicitly.

Good luck!

Oops. This has been fixed 12 hours ago, I just forgot to report back. :slight_smile:

The issue was that a new Mariaex version was out and Hex had to go back to an outdated ecto and phoenix_ecto versions to satisfy those constraints. To fix it, I have released Ecto 2.0.6 with proper dependencies.

To be clear, it was not a Hex bug. Hex was just running dependency resolution. In fact, I think the real bug was that we published a stable phoenix_ecto 3.0.0 that depended on a release candidate version. If we haven’t done so, Hex would have picked proper versions for everything. I am currently talking to Eric to not allow such to be published to Hex or at least emit a warning to ensure publishers won’t make such mistakes in the future.

Thank you all for your help and quality explanation. Learning Elixir has been a daunting but a very exciting task.
