Hello everibady,

I’m triing to run phoenix app in debug mode in visual studio and I keep getting this error

(Debugger) Task failed because an exception was raised:
    ** (Mix.Error) Could not start application app: App.Application.start(:normal, []) returned an error: shutdown: failed to start child: App.Endpoint
    ** (EXIT) an exception was raised:
        ** (ErlangError) Erlang error: {:nif_not_loaded, :module, :crypto, :line, 1344}
            :erlang.nif_error({:nif_not_loaded, :module, :crypto, :line, 1344})

NIFs cannot be run in interpreted mode. You need to exclude them with "excludeModules": [":my_nif", "My.OtherNif"]. Look for warnings Module x cannot be interpreted. Consider adding it to excludeModules`.
