Problems with aws s3 dependency

*the project was working fine with s3 before but now i have this warnings:

warning: ExAws.request!/1 defined in application :ex_aws is used by the current application but the current application does not directly depend on :ex_aws. To fix this, you must do one of:

1. If :ex_aws is part of Erlang/Elixir, you must include it under :extra_applications inside "def application" in your mix.exs

  2. If :ex_aws is a dependency, make sure it is listed under "def deps" in your mix.exs

  3. In case you don't want to add a requirement to :ex_aws, you may optionally skip this warning by adding [xref: [exclude: ExAws]] to your "def project" in mix.exs

sometimes the message “module not available” also appears.

  • i have ex_aws and ex_aws_s3 on my deps list.
  • the project worked before.
  • i tried some solutions given on the internet but they weren’t effective.
defp deps do
    [
      {:phoenix, "~> 1.4.0"},
      {:gettext, "~> 0.11"},
      {:plug_cowboy, "~> 2.0"},
      {:jason, "~> 1.0"},
      {:ex_aws, "~> 2.0"},
      {:ex_aws_s3, "~> 2.0"},
      {:poison, "~> 3.0"},
      {:hackney, "~> 1.9"},
      {:sweet_xml, "~> 0.6"}
    ]
  end

can anyone help me?

Can you show your full mix.exs file? In particular I’m wondering if you set the :applications key (which is something you want to avoid on recent Elixir versions in most cases). Also is this an umbrella project or a normal mix project?

this is an umbrella project.

  def project do
    [
      app: :project,
      version: "0.0.1",
      build_path: "../../_build",
      config_path: "../../config/config.exs",
      deps_path: "../../deps",
      lockfile: "../../mix.lock",
      elixir: "~> 1.8.1",
      elixirc_paths: elixirc_paths(Mix.env()),
      compilers: [:phoenix, :gettext] ++ Mix.compilers(),
      start_permanent: Mix.env() == :prod,
      aliases: aliases(),
      deps: deps()
    ]
  end

  # Configuration for the OTP application.
  #
  # Type `mix help compile.app` for more information.
  def application do
    [
      mod: {Project.Application, []},
      extra_applications: [:logger, :runtime_tools]
    ]
  end

  # Specifies which paths to compile per environment.
  defp elixirc_paths(:test), do: ["lib", "test/support"]
  defp elixirc_paths(_), do: ["lib"]

  # Specifies your project dependencies.
  #
  # Type `mix help deps` for examples and options.
  defp deps do
    [
      {:phoenix, "~> 1.4.0"},
      {:gettext, "~> 0.11"},
      {:plug_cowboy, "~> 2.0"},
      {:jason, "~> 1.0"},
      {:new_relic_agent, "~> 1.0"},
      {:proj, in_umbrella: true},
      {:recase, "~> 0.3.0"},
      {:csv, "~> 2.0.0"},
      {:brcpfcnpj, "~> 0.1.0"},
      {:ex_aws, "~> 2.0"},
      {:ex_aws_s3, "~> 2.0"},
      {:poison, "~> 3.0"},
      {:hackney, "~> 1.9"},
      {:sweet_xml, "~> 0.6"}
    ]
  end

  # Aliases are shortcuts or tasks specific to the current project.
  #
  # See the documentation for `Mix` for more info on aliases.
  defp aliases do
    []
  end
end

it was solved by updating the version

{:ex_aws, "~> 2.1"},
{:ex_aws_s3, "~> 2.1"},

Glad you got it figured out!

Just for future reference, the version 2.1.6 fixes the issue.
