Erlang simple "spawn" gets undefined error in windows

I'm learning Erlang and I've written a simple module to test "spawn" function:

-module(concurrent).
-export([go/0, loop/0]).
 
go() ->
    Pid2 = spawn(echo, loop, []).

loop() -> 2.

but when I run concurrent:go(). I get this error message:

=ERROR REPORT==== 10-Feb-2023::14:41:34.586000 === Error in process
<0.84.0> with exit value: {undef,[{echo,loop,[],[]}]}

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Solution

  • You try to spawn a process running function loop from module echo. But you export function loop from module named concurrent and not echo.
