Exited in: :gen_server.call Time out Error after upgrading to OTP 21 and elixir 1.6.6

My phoenix application is getting error something after upgrading to OTP 21 and elixir 1.6.6 like this…

while I am browsing my phoenix app, get this error and sometimes works but very slow and keeps getting this error in debug console.

Did You rebuild your application from a fresh state? (Removing _build and deps)

Oh… I didn’t do that.
And it seems working after removing _build and deps then do it mix deps.get and mix compile
It worked!

Doesn’t mix clean do just that btw?

IIRC to be equivalent to removing all from build, You need to do

$ mix clean --deps

And to remove a specific deps, You need to

$ mix deps.clean <package-name>

But often I just :slight_smile:

$ rm -rf _build deps
$ mix deps.get && mix compile

BTW It might be a bad habit I inherit from removing node_modules and running yarn install… and then I have suddenly 500’000 files in the dustbin :slight_smile:

Others are reporting this issue too: Exited in: :gen_server.call Time out Error after upgrading to OTP 21 and elixir 1.6.6

If you can reproduce it, please let us know your Elixir, Erlang/OTP and OS versions. Thank you.

It seems ok after cleaning up _build and deps folder yesterday.
But the issue comes again today.
I upgraded from OPT 20 and Elixir 1.6.4 to OPT 21 and Elixir 1.6.6 in Fedora 28

How hard would it be for you to give it a try on Fedora 27? There is some indication this may be a Fedora 28 issue.

I will try this in Fedora 27 and let you know.
Thanks

I tried in Fedora 27 and I did rebuild project after removing old _build and deps folder.
But I still have a same issue.

I know it doesn’t solve your problem but your feedback is very useful. Thank you!

I’m also experiencing this issue. It’s easy to reproduce with ab (ApacheBench).

This started happening this morning after updating to Erlang/OTP 21 on Arch Linux. My Elixir version though is still 1.6.5 compiled with OTP 20 (the package is currently tagged out-of-date).

Probably not related, but the stress test shows a slight performance degradation (about ~4% slower) when it doesn’t times out.

I am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and had the same issue.

I also deleted the _build and deps folder without success.

I used Snapper to rollback elixir and Erlanger update only and everything is working fine.

Best regards.
