How could I disable some configs if I'm loading from IEx?

I have tons of quantum jobs that generates log trash inside my iex. From my phoenix app:

# config/dev.exs
config :quantum, MyApp,
  cron: [
    # Tons of jobs here
  ]

So, I want this part to be included in configs only from the phoenix.server, but not from IEx. How could I do that?

Solution

  • You can check if iex is running using IEx.started?/0. If you put this in unless and wrap the config call inside it, the config will only be added if iex is not running:

    # config/dev.exs
unless IEx.started? do
  config :quantum, MyApp,
    cron: [
      # Tons of jobs here
    ]
end
