I have been trying to rewrite my java based job portal web scrapper in elixir. I copied the quick start code and when I run iex -S mix, it gets stuck!

The library’s quickstart guide is here - there’s no mention of having to create a
./spidersdirectory.Ah!! I am really sorry - looks like its an issue for everyone that are using elixir 1.17 - mix project crawly prevent `iex -S mix` to give me the interactive console · Issue #298 · elixir-crawly/crawly · GitHub
