elixir - error loading module ranch_server - recompile this module with an 20 compiler

I'm trying to run an existing elixir project that works on my other computer, on a new computer (both are mac).

When I run iex -S mix I get:

iex -S mix

I think I need to recompile ranch_server.beam. How do I do that?

Solution

  • It looks like you need to install Erlang 21.0 or later. You're currently running version 20. What is the version on the machine that works?

    ASDF is useful for managing multiple versions of erlang on the same machine.

    Or if you just want to recompile the dependency, you could try

    mix do deps.clean ranch_server, deps.get, deps.compile
