Current behaviour

Hey Hey,

we recently upgraded to erlang otp 25, Since then i get this error when trying to start the application.

===> Uncaught error in rebar_core. Run with DIAGNOSTIC=1 to see stacktrace or consult rebar3.crashdump

Crashdump files shows the following:

Error: undef

       ["/home/vagrant/nbaserl/_build/default/lib/eini/src/eini_lexer.xrl",

This issue seems to occur on all ubuntu-machines we are running. On Mac it seems fine. A recommendation for some possible fixes would be really appreciated :)

I'm completely lost since i have absolutely no idea what is causing this and i cant find a similar issue reported by someone else . Thanks in advance

Have you made sure all the packages are installed in your linux install? Linux distributions will often ship only a subset of the standard distribution in an attempt to save space and will cause all sorts of issues.

[RobWagMLP]

Hey and thanks for your reply. Yes actually i am sure. The application was running properly before the upgrade on otp-22 and opt-24. If anything has been added that requires some additional packages i would be happy to know what it is :).

If you just open a random erl shell (not rebar3 related) and call leex:module_info(). does it work?

[RobWagMLP]

nope, getting an undefined function exception.

[ferd]

then the problem is with your install, not rebar3. How did you install your Erlang?

[whitelynx]

This is happening in a Vagrant VM running Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, and Erlang is installed using APT. (with the erlang-solutions repository) We have the following packages installed:

erlang-asn1
erlang-base
erlang-crypto
erlang-dev
erlang-eunit
erlang-inets
erlang-mnesia
erlang-public-key
erlang-runtime-tools
erlang-solutions
erlang-ssh
erlang-ssl
erlang-syntax-tools
erlang-tools
erlang-xmerl

We download the official version of rebar3 when setting up the VM.

[ferd]

leex is part of the 'parsetools' app so you may need to add erlang-parsetools.
