hello there,
this is a frustrated sort of newbe with about a year in phoenix dev.
I just installed phoenix v1.6 with elixir 1.13 and created a new app, so when I run iex -S mix phx.server, this is what I get from the terminal session:
Elixir version
--------------
Elixir 1.13.4 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 22)
Phoenix version
---------------
Phoenix installer v1.6.11
Erlang/OTP 24 [erts-12.3.2.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] [jit]
Application startup error

iex -S mix phx.server

Have you tried deleting the _build directory and re-compiling?

yes, no go.

First thing that jumps out: this is running on a more recent OTP than the Elixir itself was compiled on (24 vs 22). I don’t recall any specific change that could cause the error you’re seeing, but it’s good practice to keep those versions aligned.
This warning is caused by the version of Gettext that was released 6 days ago, but should be harmless.
The
(ranch 1.8.0)label on the stack trace suggests thatranchis at least partly installed, but the failure means it isn’t completely installed. Do you get any error messages when runningmix deps.compile --force?theagilecoder
I am using the same elixir and phoenix versions as OP but running on linux.
I am only gettting this annoying warning
There is no line in my mix.exs that the error is alluding to. How can I remove the warning ?

According to elixir/lib/elixir/pages/compatibility-and-deprecations.md at 0774e4c3854ba2a3894ba0fb1de29defe747345d · elixir-lang/elixir · GitHub, Elixir 1.13 and OTP 22 are still OK. Although I wouldn’t combine them as well.
dimitarvp
I think the warning itself is fairly obvious: just remove the
:gettextatom from thecompilerslist inmix.exs?benwilson512
Did you generate a new phoenix app or are you using an older one? If it’s new, can you show the command you used to create the app or perhaps put it on github?

Elixir 1.13 compiled and running on otp 22 is ok; elixir 1.13 compiled with otp 22 but running on otp 24 would give me a second thought.
