I’ve been doing the Get Started elixir. I’m currently going part 9 of MIX AND OTP, but I am having an error with the Doctests that I cannot fix:

I have this command parser file just as the tutorial tells me:

defmodule KVServer.Command do
  @doc ~S"""
  Parses the given `line` into a command.

  ## Examples

      iex> KVServer.Command.parse "CREATE shopping\r\n"
      {:ok, {:create, "shopping"}}

      iex> KVServer.Command.parse "CREATE  shopping  \r\n"
      {:ok, {:create, "shopping"}}

      iex> KVServer.Command.parse "PUT shopping milk 1\r\n"
      {:ok, {:put, "shopping", "milk", "1"}}

      iex> KVServer.Command.parse "GET shopping milk\r\n"
      {:ok, {:get, "shopping", "milk"}}

      iex> KVServer.Command.parse "DELETE shopping eggs\r\n"
      {:ok, {:delete, "shopping", "eggs"}}

  Unknown commands or commands with the wrong number of
  arguments return an error:

      iex> KVServer.Command.parse "UNKNOWN shopping eggs\r\n"
      {:error, :unknown_command}

      iex> KVServer.Command.parse "GET shopping\r\n"
      {:error, :unknown_command}

  def parse(line) do
    case String.split(line) do
      ["CREATE", bucket] -> {:ok, {:create, bucket}}
      ["GET", bucket, key] -> {:ok, {:get, bucket, key}}
      ["PUT", bucket, key, value] -> {:ok, {:put, bucket, key, value}}
      ["DELETE", bucket, key] -> {:ok, {:delete, bucket, key}}
      _ -> {:error, :unknown_command}
    end
  end

  def run(command)

  def run({:create, bucket}) do
    MixTest.Registry.create(MixTest.Registry, bucket)
    {:ok, "OK\r\n"}
  end

  def run({:get, bucket, key}) do
    lookup(bucket, fn pid ->
      value = MixTest.Bucket.get(pid, key)
      {:ok, "#{value}\r\nOK\r\n"}
    end)
  end

  def run({:put, bucket, key, value}) do
    lookup(bucket, fn pid ->
      MixTest.Bucket.put(pid, key, value)
      {:ok, "OK\r\n"}
    end)
  end

  def run({:delete, bucket, key}) do
    lookup(bucket, fn pid ->
      MixTest.Bucket.delete(pid, key)
      {:ok, "OK\r\n"}
    end)
  end

  defp lookup(bucket, callback) do
    case MixTest.Registry.lookup(MixTest.Registry, bucket) do
      {:ok, pid} -> callback.(pid)
      :error -> {:error, :not_found}
    end
  end
end

Note: MixTest is my module from another application that is under umbrella (KV module in the tutorial).

When I try to run the tests, all the doc tests fail, apparently because it does not recognize a blank space or something that I do not understand.

These are the messages that the console shows me when I run the mix test command:

i don’t know the tutorial but i can see that the difference between rest examples are that

KVServer.Command.parse "CREATE  shopping  \r\n"

contains a space between shopping and \r\n.

What happens if you remove that space?

Euphorichuman OP

Removing this space does not solve the problem.

Tutorial btw: https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/introduction-to-mix.html

I am on my phone now, so I cannot verify, but it looks like a problem with escaping of \r\n. Indeed it says that the unicode code point where it breaks is the hexadecimal 000D, which is the carriage return.

What happen if you escape the backslash with another backslash like \\r\\n?

This is an Elixir bug that has been fixed in the upcoming v1.13: doctest raises syntaxerror: unexpected token · Issue #11291 · elixir-lang/elixir · GitHub

A temporary solution for now is to configure your editor to use Unix/DOS style newlines.
