this is a project with some legacy; if you want to try it out, run mix ecto.load (this loads the database structure from version 4) and then mix migrate.cf4 (this migrates to the v5 structure) – sorry, still a lot of details to work on

I am going offline right now (it’s pretty late here), thanks for your patience and your work! Will check again tomorrow morning.

@cjk did you get anywhere with this?
I’ve done a bit of research but also so far not able to make sense of the resources/discussions that I’ve found.
I’m sure it’s my bad code organisation that is causing this (lot’s of aliases and shared code).
I am just not too sure how to tackle this and find out some quick wins.
For me the slow compile is probably due to my laptop, but the trigger of recompiling 74 files after changing the slightest thing is the problem.

Sadly no. I am still not able to make sense of any of this. I’m also pretty confused on how to organize the code to avoid these dependencies…

Thanks, Jose, for your reply. Sadly this doesn’t change anything. A change on layout/app.html.eex still recompiles 106 files. Same for other files. Compile times are really high in this project, and I can’t wrap my head around this 
sorry.

Check out mix xref graph --label compile --sink layout/app.html.eex (I hope that this will work with EEx files).

No, it doesn’t. But it works on layout_view.ex – but I don’t understand the results.
➜ ckruse@Pug ~/Code/selfhtml/cforum_elixir (master) ✗ % mix xref graph --label compile --sink lib/cforum_web/views/layout_view.ex
lib/cforum_web/mailers/notification_mailer.ex
└── lib/cforum_web/views/layout_view.ex (compile)
lib/cforum_web/mailers/user_mailer.ex
└── lib/cforum_web/views/layout_view.ex (compile)
➜ ckruse@Pug ~/Code/selfhtml/cforum_elixir (master) ✗ % touch lib/cforum_web/views/layout_view.ex
➜ ckruse@Pug ~/Code/selfhtml/cforum_elixir (master) ✗ % mix compile
Compiling 106 files (.ex)
When only two files compile-time depend on layout_view.ex, why does a change cause 106 files to be recompiled?

I am also struggling from this high compile time. But now a kind of adjusted to this. Tried to reduce the compile time many ways, but nothing came out good.
