Mix issues on Erlang 21 + Elixir 1.6.6 on Windows 10

Just upgraded to Erlang 21 and Elixir 1.6.6 on my windows machine, I now have issues with mix:

C:\Elixir\dl
λ mix compile
** (Mix) Error fetching/updating Git repository: the "git" executable is not available in your PATH. Please install Git on this machine or pass --no-deps-check if you want to run a previously built application on a system without Git.

C:\Elixir\dl
λ git
usage: git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c name=value]
           [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
           [-p | --paginate | --no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
           [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
           <command> [<args>]

I have gone back to 1.6.5 which worked fine before now, but same issues. Any clues please?

This is a known issues of OTP 21 on windows:

You need to downgrade your erlang installation.

That’s sad… any known work around while we wait for 21.1 ?

NobbZ · June 21, 2018, 4:56pm

Yes, using 20.x

Good Call

Well, or using linux

Note:Windows Note:Erlang/OTP Note:Open for guidance

`iex -S mix` results in `-S : Could not find executable mix` in a seemingly good… Win10 environment with Elixir 1.6.6 & OTP21. ### Environment - Erlang/OTP: 21 - Elixir: 1.6.6 - OS: Windows 10 (Version 1803 OS Build 17134.112) ### Current behavior I did a clean install of Erlang (`otp_win64_21.0.exe`) and Elixir (`elixir-v1.6.6-setup.exe`) on my Windows 10 box (Version 1803 OS Build 17134.112). ```dos C:\Users\chgeuer> mix new bar && cd bar * creating README.md * creating .formatter.exs * creating .gitignore * creating mix.exs * creating config * creating config/config.exs * creating lib * creating lib/bar.ex * creating test * creating test/test_helper.exs * creating test/bar_test.exs Your Mix project was created successfully. You can use "mix" to compile it, test it, and more: cd bar mix test Run "mix help" for more commands. C:\Users\chgeuer\bar> iex -S mix -S : Could not find executable mix ``` Looking in an interactive session: ```elixir C:\Users\chgeuer>iex Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.0] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] Interactive Elixir (1.6.6) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help) iex(1)> :erlang.system_info(:otp_release) '21' iex(2)> System.version "1.6.6" iex(3)> System.get_env("PATH") nil iex(4)> System.get_env("Path") |> String.split(";") |> Enum.filter(&(String.contains?(&1, "Eli") or String.contains?(&1,"erl"))) [ "C:\\Program Files\\erl10.0\\erts-10.0\\bin", "C:\\Program Files\\erl10.0\\bin", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Elixir\\bin" ] ``` When I run `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elixir\bin\iex.bat" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Elixir\bin\mix"`, it works...
