This is a piece of code for testing the receive block

defmodule ElixirBasics.Runner do
  def start do
    IO.puts("Started the process at #{inspect(self())}")
    receive_msg()
  end

  def receive_msg do
    receive do
      {:ok, msg} ->
        IO.puts("received this message #{msg}")

      _ ->
        IO.puts("received invalid msg type")
    end

    receive_msg()
  end
end

ElixirBasics.Runner.start()
Process.sleep(:infinity)

This is present inside a .ex file and running with the command mix run lib/runner.ex. Now I am trying to send messages to the spawned process using Process.send(pid of process, {:ok, “hello”}, [ ]). I got :ok when trying to run the send command but the messages weren’t handled by receive block. The IO statements weren’t getting logged into the console. Can anyone point out my mistake?
