The CodeReloader (in dev mode) is using Mix.Config. This fails when using distillery releases in dev_mode because mix is not available in releases.
Is it possible to completely disable CodeReloader in a Phoenix app, such that my app will not fail to start in a dev_mode release?
In your applications /config/dev.exs you will have something along the lines of
config :my_app_web, MyApp.Web.Endpoint,
http: [port: 4000],
debug_errors: true,
code_reloader: true,
check_origin: false,
watchers: [node: ["node_modules/brunch/bin/brunch", "watch", "--stdin",
cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__)]]
Just change code_reloader: true to code_reloader: false. Or you could remove the following code from your MyApp.Endpoint
if code_reloading? do
socket "/phoenix/live_reload/socket", Phoenix.LiveReloader.Socket
plug Phoenix.LiveReloader
plug Phoenix.CodeReloader
end
