I just upgraded to Elixir 1.8.1 after running 1.5 for a few years (rock solid, fyi–THANKS!!!)
I’m posting this because I use Elixir on a daily basis and have never come across this issue.
Basically, I modified an existing function Polo.Sim.Model.Ids.insert_start_end_date/2, then reloaded it in IEx. (The function was not itself running in a GenServer, but rather a function being called by another Genserver)
iex> r Polo.Sim.Model.Ids
{:reloaded, Polo.Sim.Model.Ids, [Polo.Sim.Model.Ids]}
iex>
Great, working, fine, as you can see below.
Then, the system tried to auto-recompile (I guess it detected changes I made), but then the app crashed with an UndefinedFunctionError.
I also am running a Phoenix 1.4/Ecto app, but since this is really backend stuff, I thought I’d post here.

Its happened a few time today already (e.g. modifying a function, reloading it in IEx, working for a while, then blowing up on auto-recompile)
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!!!
