Error in mix phx.new: (File.Error) could not make directory (with -p)

Hi,
I’ve just upgraded to latest version of Elixir and upgrade the phx.new mix task as well (mix archive install hex pox_new). On a Mac

Then I launch:
mix phx.new kelaportal --adapter bandit --database sqlite3 --no-mailer

after a lot of file creations, I have the following error message:

  • extracting kelaportal/assets/vendor/heroicons/optimized
    ** (File.Error) could not make directory (with -p) “/Users/dompdv/kelaportal/assets/vendor/heroicons/optimized”: file already exists

    lib/phx_new/single.ex:146: Phx.New.Single.generate/1

elixir --version and mix --version : both 1.17.3

Any idea ? What do I do wrong here ?

That’s very odd, the latest phx.new does not create that folder anymore.
It now uses a hex package for the heroicons where they are stored within the deps folder.

Sorry everybody.
I used the good old way: uninstall everything and reinstall from a clean state.
It works
