I am having issues running mix doc all of a sudden though I did not make a lot of changes to my library codepagex for a long time. I am getting:
codepagex (master *) % mix docs

** (EXIT) an exception was raised:

My project is here: codepagex/mix.exs at main · tallakt/codepagex · GitHub
Appreciate any help, I’m totally lost here…

I presume you have upgraded the locally used Erlang and Elixir?
tallakt
Yes I am on Elixir 1.16.3 and MacOS, Elixir and Erlang was installed with
asdf latesttallakt
Actually the first time I’m running I am getting a different compilation error. The second time I am getting the one described above. The initial error is:
dimitarvp
So if you’re now running latest Erlang / Elixir I would also update all dependencies to their latest version.

OK so I just cloned your repo and ran
mix do deps.get, compilesuccessfully.Erlang version is
26.2.5.Elixir version is
1.16.3-otp-26.Let’s see about
mix docsnow…dimitarvp
Well curiously I couldn’t get it to work quickly either.
So let’s backtrack. What were the last Erlang/Elixir versions you used successfully when working on the library?

I’m not sure. Last update was in 2020, I would think the version 1.5.x specified in mix.exs is accurate. I don’t remember what happened back then.
I’m thinking recreating the code from a new project
mix newthen add stuff until I see when it breaks. That would take a bit longer though. Maybe thats what I have to dodimitarvp
Usually I remember this spec was several versions behind. I’d start with the release that was semi-recent at 2020 and take it from there.
Might be necessary I am afraid. Curious what updates you’ll give us because I like your library.

So duplicating the code into a new mix project worked. Not many changes though, Im not sure which one did the trick:

Cool, glad you solved it!
