Hello. Based on a reporting bug (which was not bug 
), @josevalim said I can not use Application.put_env inside compile time macro like this:
This makes it so Mix believes the build of your dependency stale because a compile env flag is changing.
quote do
[:validate_derive, :sanitize_derive]
|> Enum.each(fn item ->
if is_nil(Application.compile_env(:guarded_struct, item)) do
Application.put_env(:guarded_struct, item, Keyword.get(unquote(opts), item))
end
end)
But I have question. is there a way to put env in compile time and access it inside run-time?
Thank you in advance.

I don’t think so, but even if there would I’d argue this is abusing the system. Config is an input to code compilation and running its result. It’s not an output of compiling code.

I haven’t entirely traced how that env is being used, but this one looks like you need a different approach for getting metadata to
ValidationDerive:https://github.com/mishka-group/mishka_developer_tools/blob/6364fbc54f4c84b8b087857f6e13b13c3d84a742/lib/macros/guarded_struct/derive/validation_derive.ex#L618
At an absolute minimum, you’d need to be able to distinguish “this module that said
guardedstructwants validation” from “this OTHER module that saidguardedstructdoesn’t want validation” - a single boolean in the application env isn’t sufficient for that.shahryarjb
Yes, I am trying to change my whole passing data to my
derivefunction. It needs lot of worksUpdate:
I left this option of my macro. it is not necessary, for now
