Hello friends, I do not think this problem of mine exists in production build ( I did not test it), but in developer mode iex -S mix.

imagine you have this module

defmodule PluginWorker do
  use Worker, concurrency: 1
  
  def perform(event: event, type: :start) do
    ....
  end
end

If I run my iex, and call it inside the function_exported? it returns true.

but when I use it like this:

  @impl true
  # The task completed successfully
  def handle_info({ref, _answer}, %{ref: ref} = state) do
 
    Process.demonitor(ref, [:flush])
    
    # HERE
    function_exported?(PluginWorker, :worker?, 0)
    |> IO.inspect(label: "=-==-=-=>") # false

    Queue.new(%{
      worker: PluginWorker,
      error: %{type: :continuously, max_try: 5, delay: 1000}
    })

    {:noreply, %{state | ref: nil}, {:continue, :start_service_restoring}}
  end

As you see it returns false my question is, how can have this builded in iex developer env and test, and the other problem is, it is a problem in production build? like release

Test mode

In test mode I am forced to call some modules in test_helper.exs file before testing, because without it inside my tests they are no be compiled before

for example:

ExUnit.start()

# Help to compile workers
MishkaInstallerTest.Support.MisWorkerOne.worker?()
WorkerTwo.worker?()
WorkerThree.worker?()
PluginWorker.worker?()

Thank you in advance

In dev and test modes the system is running in interactive mode, so the module may not be available before you try to use it. You can use ensure_loaded!/1 before function_exported?/3 to force the BEAM to load it. You wouldn’t have this problem in production because all modules are loaded at start-up in embedded mode.

Code loading on the Erlang VM

Thank you, so I need to limit it just to use in dev and test (Mix.env()), because the Code.ensure_loaded speed is very low Should I use `Code.ensure_loaded?/1`? - #5 by shahryarjb, when you are using it more than 1 time

I think you can use it in the module declaration just above the handle callback, then it’s only run once during compilation

Yes after your help, I put it like this

defmodule MishkaInstaller.PluginsManagement.Event do
  use GuardedStruct
  use GenServer
  ...
  import MnesiaAssistant, only: [er: 1, erl_fields: 4]

  if Mix.env() in [:dev, :test] do
    Code.ensure_loaded(PluginWorker)
  end

 def ... do
    ....
 end

Great!

Just 2 things to keep in mind.

You don’t need to test for the environment.

If the module is already loaded, this works as no-op. If the module was not yet loaded, it tries to load it.

Maybe use the ! version so the compiler fails in case the module isn’t found, otherwise you’ll only find out at runtime like you saw in your failing tests.
