Need help with examples in chapter 2 of GraphQL APIs in Elixir with Absinthe book
Just opening GraphQL API in Elixir with Absinthe and realised I need Elixir 1.5.0 / OTP 20 to get the examples running. Is there an up to date version of the sample code anywhere or is there a surefire way of getting OTP 20 running on MacOSX 12.5.1
I’m using ASDF and it’s just spitting out the following and I am just staring blankly. I am not even sure I can get it running under Monterey.
The asdf_20.3.8.26 build has been deleted
Extracting source code
Building Erlang/OTP 20.3.8.26 (asdf_20.3.8.26), please wait...
Build failed.
configure: error:
You are natively building Erlang/OTP for a later version of MacOSX
than current version (12.5.1). You either need to
cross-build Erlang/OTP, or set the environment variable
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 12.5.1 (or a lower version).
make: *** No rule to make target `is_cross_configured'. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
Please see /Users/rl/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_20.3.8.26/otp_build_20.3.8.26.log for full details.
Failed at the first hurdle of Chapter 2. Boooo
Many thanks

Doesn’t the code work with the latest Erlang and Elixir?

Yes it does… last time I tried, I just started a new project, and added latest version of Absinthe + deps.
I also added dataloader, and could proceed with the code.

What the previous two posts are saying is that you can probably edit .tool-versions file in the repository. Change it to something like this:
elixir 1.14.0-otp-25
erlang 25.1.1
Then run asdf install again and start from the beginning (get deps, compile, etc)

Since it’s not a trade-secret app and just an exercise one, you can make a GitHub repo and share the link here. Somebody will check it out and tell you if there’s anything wrong with it.
I wouldn’t want you to give up on Elixir because of a broken or incomplete ZIP file, i.e. a freaky accident.

Sorry problem solved I am a special kind of idiot. I had two zips on my Desktop.
