Intellij: Cannot run phoenix app

Phoenix Forum Questions / Help

Hello,

I’m trying to set up IntelliJ to work with the Phoenix framework. Finally I managed that IntelliJ can build my module (simply “hello”) and run “mix deps.get”, but I cannot get it to “run” the server. I know I could type “mix phx.server” in the console, but I would prefer being able to run via IntelliJ (maybe to use debug later).

This are my settings:

intellij_config
intellij_config1703×1051 125 KB

i installed Elixir via chocolatey in Windows 10.

This is the error message:

Can anyone help?

Have you tried to run it from the terminal? It looks as if you are using a clouddrive, and I’ve read about a lot of trouble about using those on windows for programming related work, as the filesystem wrapper is to slow for the compiler or other weird stuff.

If though it works on the terminal but not from the IDE, I can’t help you any further, as I try to not use windows or big IDEs.

Hi NobbZ,

Tried it again in the console and it didn’t work. Created app again and now it works. My mistake.

Sorry to bother you. Thread can be closed…

bye,
Peter
