Print compilation error line at fault

Questions / Help

I feel like mix compile is no longer indicating me the line at which the compilation failed.

mix compile                                                                                                                                                                 
Compiling 11 files (.ex)

== Compilation error in file lib/projman/sales/ranked_order/priority.ex ==
** (ArgumentError) argument error

Should I visually scan the whole file to check for a syntax error?

Hi @chava can you provide more information? What is the output of elixir --version ?

Elixir 1.8.2 is not compatible with Erlang / OTP 23, I’m curious how you got that installed. You should try again with the latest Elixir version. (1.10.3)

Thank you Ben. Since it is Centos, I had to install from source to have the latest version.

git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git
cd elixir
git checkout v1.10
make clean install

I guess I installed it from source the first time around. When I updated the system, Erlang upgraded automatically with no problems, but not Elixir.

Why not use asdf to install Erlang and Elixir? I’ve used that on CentOS VPS machines without issues.

Will try it one of these days. Thank you.
