Issues starting Erlang observer (using wx in extra applications)
Hello everyone! ![]()
After including wx in :extra_applications I noticed the following error messages while running a release "Failed to load NIF library: '/app/lib/wx-2.4/priv/erl_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'".
I have an old app running in producing on elixir 1.13.1-otp-24 that I’m almost sure supports observer out of the box and it’s not breaking releases (I can’t quite check because I don’t have access to the source code anymore).
However, I know that the Docker image being used is based on alpine-elixir which is also based on alpine-erlang which is compiled with the --without-wx flag.
Did this behavior change at some point in time or am I getting crazy!?

I swear I read a change where wx wasn’t being started as default in runtime, I can’t find it in the changelogs right now though. I don’t think that is quite related to your error though.
