I have an application which has PropCheck tests. I am now trying to build a command line for this program. However, when I try to run the built escript, I get the following:

16:50:39.136 [info]  Application propcheck exited: exited in: PropCheck.App.start(:normal, [])
    ** (EXIT) an exception was raised:
        ** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Mix.Project.config/0 is undefined (module Mix.Project is not available)

Googling around, I tried adding runtime: false to propcheck’s options in my mix.exs. Now the CLI works fine, but mix test won’t work.

== Compilation error in file test/analytic_tableaux_props_test.exs ==
** (exit) exited in: GenServer.call(PropCheck.CounterStrike, {:counter_example, {AnalyticTableauxPropsTest, :"property_a simple formula proves itself", []}}, 5000)
    ** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started

Any help very much appreciated.

Shooting in the dark here, did you try specifying only: [:dev, :test] in mix.exs? IMO you can delete the runtime: false option.

Thanks. Unfortunately I already had those settings in the beginning. It was that setting that led to the first error.

Found a solution: if I just put only: [:test] that works. Thanks again.

Oh yeah, my mistake. I was thinking about dialyzer and not a testing library. only: [:test] is indeed the right thing to do.
