I am currently enrolled in the Pragmatic Studio Elixir & OTP course and have just completed the section on module attributes. I have the following code:
defmodule Servy.Handler do
@moduledoc "Handles HTTP requests"
@pages_path Path.expand("../../pages", __DIR__)
@doc "Transforms the request into a response."
def handle(request) do
request
|> parse
|> rewrite_path
|> log
|> route
|> track
|> format_response
end
def emojify(%{status: 200} = conv) do
body = ":) " <> conv.resp_body <> " :)"
%{conv | resp_body: body}
end
def emojify(conv), do: conv
def track(%{status: 404, path: path} = conv) do
IO.puts("Warning: #{path} is on the loose!")
conv
end
@doc "Logs 404 requests"
def track(conv), do: conv
def rewrite_path(%{path: "/wildlife"} = conv) do
%{conv | path: "/wildthings"}
end
def rewrite_path(%{path: "/bears?id=" <> id} = conv) do
%{conv | path: "/bears/#{id}"}
end
def rewrite_path(conv), do: conv
def log(conv), do: IO.inspect(conv)
def parse(request) do
# TODO Parse the request string into a map
[method, path, _] =
request
|> String.split("\n")
|> List.first()
|> String.split(" ")
%{method: method, path: path, resp_body: "", status: nil}
end
def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/wildthings"} = conv) do
%{conv | status: 200, resp_body: "Bears, Lions, Tigers"}
end
def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/bears"} = conv) do
%{conv | status: 200, resp_body: "Teddy, Smokey, Paddington"}
end
def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/bears/new"} = conv) do
@pages_path
|> Path.join("form.html")
|> File.read()
|> handle_file(conv)
end
def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/bears/" <> id} = conv) do
%{conv | status: 200, resp_body: "Bear #{id}"}
end
def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/pages/" <> file} = conv) do

end
def route(%{path: path} = conv) do

However, when I try to see the generated documentation as an exercise, I get an error:
Any ideas?

Someone else can probably give you a more detailed answer but I think the problem here is that you are running a script (
.exsfile). Scripts as I understand are only compiled into memory so there’s no beam file on disk to read the docs from.Ookma-Kyi
Actually, it’s an .ex file (executable).
sodapopcan
To be clear,
.exis not an executable, it’s just an elixir file..beamare the bytecode files.In short, modules in iex are loaded into memory so not compiled with docs. I’m not sure if there is a way to do so or not. If you have a mix project, though, and load it in with
iex -S mixthen you’ll be able to useh.garrison
How are you compiling it? If you are doing
c("handler.ex")in iex it still defaults to in-memory regardless of whether it’s a.exsfile.garrison
Looks like
c/2accepts apathas the second argument.sodapopcan
Oh neat! They’ve thought of everything
