Working with the Process.spawn function
What could possibly be wrong with respect to this code :
defmodule Test do
def main do
Process.spawn(self(), Test.test())
end
def test do
IO.puts("Test ok");
end
end
Error message :
Test ok
** (ArgumentError) argument error
erlang.erl:2876: :erlang.spawn_opt(#PID<0.102.0>, :ok)

You are calling Test.test/0 which prints Test ok and then returns :ok, this return value of Test.test/0 is then passed to spawn/1.
You probably want spawn(&test/0) to pass a “function capture” to spawn/1.
