This is a really old version of Phoenix - was that intentional?

You’ll get better answers if you post the file that’s failing to compile here.

Old Phoenix on a newer Elixir version is in for a world of pain.

I’m also used to seeing that gettext warning for Elixir 1.13+.

The version Phoenix 1.2 is looking for according to phoenix/mix.exs at v1.2 · phoenixframework/phoenix · GitHub is Elixir 1.2 and not 1.12, 10 versions later. I’m pretty sure Phoenix 1.6 is what you want if you’re on that version of Elixir.
