ErlShell After installation Elixir generated .app files with ANSI escape sequences

Generated corrupted .app files but really pretty ones :)

Can you explain more about this issue?

Sure!

Before doing make install:

$ mix compile
Compiling 6 files (.ex)
Generated eximap app

$ more ./_build/dev/lib/eximap/ebin/eximap.app
{application,eximap,
             [{applications,[kernel,stdlib,elixir,logger]},
              {description,"eximap"},
              {modules,['Elixir.Eximap','Elixir.Eximap.Application',
                        'Elixir.Eximap.Imap.Client',
                        'Elixir.Eximap.Imap.Request',
                        'Elixir.Eximap.Imap.Response','Elixir.Eximap.Socket']},
              {registered,[]},
              {vsn,"0.1.0"},
              {extra_applications,[logger]},
              {mod,{'Elixir.Eximap.Application',[]}}]}.

No issues there, the .app file is compiled perfectly. Then, after running make install:

$ mix compile
Compiling 6 files (.ex)
Generated eximap app

$ more ./_build/dev/lib/eximap/ebin/eximap.app

Note how the .app files is created with the ansi escape sequences inside.

I don't have an idea about elixir. Have you tested in Erlang?
