Why is my crawly app stuck?

[philosopherstone]

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!

Since I couldn’t attach an image, please refer to this link for a screenshot: Elixir Crawly getting stuck - Album on Imgur

System:
OS - windows 10
Erlang/OTP 27
Elixir 1.17

FWIW, pasting text is always better than posting an image - you can use triple-backticks (```) to preserve console formatting.

The error message on that screen follows a log about looking for spiders in ./spiders, is there a directory named that in your application?

You are right, sorry about that!

The library’s quickstart guide is here - there’s no mention of having to create a ./spiders directory.

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
