Init terminating in do_boot - distillery migrations

The OTP version doesn’t seem to be an issue according to the error message, for me it seems as if you were starting your application twice when it should be started only once.

As I’m not using distillery, I can’t give you much more hints, but you probably need to reveal a bit of your distillery config/scripts.

I’m just curious, any special reason not using distillery 2?

Nice point indeed… I’m using 2.0.10, but read the documentation that first appeared in my search and didn’t take notice of the version.
Will try it later with the modified configuration for migrations.

I’ve updated the scripts to the newest 2.0.10 version, as mentioned in Migrations - Distillery Documentation

I’ve created the orif_dev and orif_prod databases in the build machine.

When running ./_build/prod/rel/orif/bin/orif migrate in the build box, get this error:

** (exit) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started```

ok.  So I start the application with:
```$ ./_build/prod/rel/orif/bin/orif foreground                                         
22:55:54.510 [info] Running OrifWeb.Endpoint with Cowboy using http://0.0.0.0:8048                                       
22:55:54.511 [error] Could not find static manifest at "/usr/home/lupe/orif/orif_build/_build/prod/rel/orif/lib/orif-0.0.1/priv/static/cache_manifest.json". Run "mix phx.digest" after building your static files or remove the configuration from "config/prod.exs".```

In another virtual terminal, try again:

```$ ./_build/prod/rel/orif/bin/orif migrate

    (stdlib) erl_eval.erl:670: :erl_eval.do_apply/6
    (elixir) lib/code.ex:232: Code.eval_string/3```

What should I do differently?

It would be helpful if you could share any distillery related codes here. I have successfully deployed one of my project telegram-bot-for-twitter/lib/release_tasks.ex at master · chenxsan/telegram-bot-for-twitter · GitHub with distillery 2 according to the documentation, so it could be some faults in your configurations.

My script is similar to yours, just changing the two lines with the app name.

For the first build, I did this

1. [devel machine] run $ mix edeliver build release
2. [build machine] create the app_dev and app_prod database
3. [bm] ./_build/prod/rel/orif/bin/orif foreground
4. [bm] ./_build/prod/rel/orif/bin/orif migrate (at another terminal)

Is this procedure correct? Am I missing something or is something out of order?

Your application can’t start because of missing files, please read the error message given and provide the files that phoenix asks for or remove them from the config.

I’ve overcome the missing files issue, I think, that were related to producing static files, but still can’t run the migrations in the production host.

In the build machine:

seems fine, but the migrations raise some problem:

and when trying to run migrations from the development machine:

@chensan My release_tasks.ex file is identical to yours, except for the name of the application.

This is my first deployment and it’s been very difficult to set all this up.

You dont need to run bin/orif/ foregound or bin/orif start. You only need run your task. In my case, I have this task

defmodule ContentProxy.ReleaseTasks do
  @otp_app :content_proxy

  defp init(app) do
    IO.puts "Starting dependencies.."
    {:ok, _} = Application.ensure_all_started(app)
  end

  def seed do
    init(@otp_app)

    seed_data = seed_file_path(@otp_app)
      |> File.read!()
      |> Jason.decode!()

    Enum.each seed_data, fn(content) ->
      ContentProxy.Resources.create_content(content)
      IO.puts("DOCUMENT #{content["name"]} INSERTED")
    end

    stop()
  end

  defp seed_file_path(app),
    do: priv_dir(app, ["seed_data", "contents.json"])

  defp priv_dir(app, path) when is_list(path) do
    case :code.priv_dir(app) do
      priv_path when is_list(priv_path) or is_binary(priv_path) ->
        Path.join([priv_path] ++ path)

      {:error, :bad_name} ->
        raise ArgumentError, "unknown application: #{inspect app}"
    end
  end

  defp stop do
    IO.puts "Success!"
    :init.stop()
  end

end

inside of the terminal session, I run my task typing _build/prod/rel/content_proxy/bin/content_proxy command "Elixir.ContentProxy.ReleaseTasks" seed and its works like a charm!

It is worth noting {:ok, _} = Application.ensure_all_started(app) already start to you all children process that you’ve configured in application.ex

I’ve notice that if I run the app with start or foreground before run command, when I run command "Elixir.ContentProxy.ReleaseTasks" seed I get the following error:
