adding second child to supervisor throws error

Question

I want to add a second child to my supervisor but i get the following error.

** (Mix) Could not start application cloner_worker: exited in: ClonerWorker.Application.start(:normal, []) ** (EXIT) an exception was raised: ** (ArgumentError) The module ClonerWorker.Worker was given as a child to a supervisor but it does not exist.

i am aware that similar questions have already been asked but i couldn't find the solution for my problem there

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.

Answer 1

The problem was that i called my file worker.exs instead of worker.ex sorry for the misunderstanding in the question where i did put worker.ex
