** (CaseClauseError) 没有 case 子句匹配：:eacces - 使用 MIX_ENV=prod 构建版本

Question

I am not sure where to put that error, elixir, phoenixframework, or nodejs.

I am trying to create my first release build with elxir and phoenix. During the release build I see the following error. I am just not sure if this is a version/dependency problem or something that has to do with nodejs since the only information I could find related to eacces was in relationship with nodejs. Is there anything I am missing in my configuration?

Here is the error stack:

Building release with MIX_ENV=prod.

My environment is as follows:

$ elixir -v
Erlang/OTP 19 [erts-8.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]

Elixir 1.3.4

$ npm --version
3.10.8

I run in a few version problems after adding exrm which I solved by adding to my dependencies the following:

 {:exrm, git: "git://github.com/bitwalker/exrm.git"},
 {:relx, github: "erlware/relx", override: true},
 {:erlware_commons, github: "erlware/erlware_commons", override: true},
 {:cf, "~> 0.2.1", override: true}

Three hours later...

I have created a fresh phoenix project using mix and could reproduce the problem. Once I added exrm I got the same error. I switchen then to distillery to see the same error. I created an issue on distillery with the hope to get there a solution. Issue 142 on distillery

Additional details on this issue from the distillery report:

Answer 1

TL;DR

This error is caused by a permission denied when attempt to write some artifact of build. You need to override EXRM with distilery and check files/directory permissions.

Long explanation

Error eacces means permission denied in Unix systems, ie, when your release task was attempting to write some builded file, this receives a permission denied from OS.

The CaseClauseError indicates that possibilty is not handled by case clausule in EXRM source code.

Anyway, EXRM was deprecated, and you need overide it with distillery
