Hello, I am trying to do a huge bump on a codebase from Oban 2.6 to 2.17 and Oban Pro from 0.12 to 1.3, after following the instructions on the hexdocs page, between updating from 2.14 to 2.17 I got this error:

** (Mix) Could not start application catalog: Catalog.Application.start(:normal, []) returned an error: shutdown: failed to start child: Oban
    ** (EXIT) an exception was raised:
        ** (ArgumentError) expected :engine to be a loaded module, got: Oban.Pro.Queue.SmartEngine

Oban 2.6 used SmartEngine before and was compiling just fine, I did not change this. How should I proceed? I have no idea. I am not used to posting in forums, please let me know what other info is useful.

versions

  • erlang 24.3.4.1
  • elixir 1.14.1-otp-24

Hi, the step you seem to be missing is naming the Smart Engine. We’re going to make a guide out of this to simplify.

Here is a link to the docs that will help:

Your many-versions-update is a big undertaking!
If you need any further assistance, don’t hesitate to ask.
