Errors may have been logged above. You can recompile this dependency with "mix deps.compile ranch --force", update it with "mix deps.update ranch" or clean it with "mix deps.clean ranch"

• Verify whether the version of rebar3 you're running is the latest release (see https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/releases)
• If possible, include information about your project and its structure. Open source projects or examples are always easier to debug.
  If you can provide an example code base to reproduce the issue on, we will generally be able to provide more help, and faster.

Current behaviour

rebar3 crashes when compiling the ranch library. It doesn't happen with my other project that also includes the same version of ranch.

DEBUG=1 rebar3 <my failing command>

Expected behavior

It compiles the ranch dependency correctly.

• can you specify which rebar3 version you're running? Don't know specifically which version mix is pulling in (something related to mix local.rebar). See the rebar3 report command the template asks for.
• can you re-run the command with either DEBUG=1 or DIAGNOSTIC=1 configured in the environment so we can get more of the error log?
• can you try running it with an option of :manager set to :rebar3 in the options for the dependencies? I know ranch defaults to makefiles as its primary tool so maybe it has an effect.

I'm facing the same issue on Elixir 1.15 (but OTP 25 in my case). Running the command with DIAGNOSTIC=1 produces the following output:

We experienced this same issue. Here's the output of rebar3 report compile:

Running with DIAGNOSTIC=1 produces the same stack trace as in the previous comment.

Adding this line to mix.exs (and then mix deps.clean ranch and mix deps.get) fixed the issue for ranch:

{:ranch, ">= 0.0.0", manager: :rebar3, override: true}

Cowlib had the same problem, but the same fix solved it as well.

I ran into this in my Elixir CI pipeline after upgrading from 1.14 to 1.15. Fixed by clearing out the GitHub Actions cache.

[makoto-developer]

I also faced this problem now.

Sorry, I couldn't solve this work around

add {:ranch, ">= 0.0.0", manager: :rebar3, override: true}

I tried changing the version of Erlang, but could not solve the problem. I think this is a problem with Elixir　on v1.5. Furthermore, I have not included telemetry package in mix.exs. So, is it a problem on cowboy's side?

[Nezteb]

I've also started running into this recently, as has a coworker. Both of us are on newer M2 macOS machines and using the latest versions of asdf/asdf-erlang/asdf-elixir.

I'm not sure if it's related, but searching for the error message and "bare compile" did bring up this issue: #2102

Running mix clean --deps doesn't work.

Re-installing the Erlang/Elixir versions also doesn't seem to help (even after installing hex/rebar3).

Running ~/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl cleanup also doesn't fix it, which worked for me last month because of a similar issue.

I also tried uninstalling the asdf-erlang and asdf-elixir plugins completely, reinstalling them from scratch, reinstalling the same Elixir/Erlang version, and yet mix compile still fails to compile ranch. 🤔

EDIT:

The thing that solved it for me was mix deps.clean ranch (or --all if you want to do it for every dep). I had tried mix clean --deps a few times, but I didn't realize that the fetched deps/ranch files would be the issue; I had assumed it'd be the _build/ranch files. I also thought it was a weird coincidence that each instance of this error seems to only happen with ranch:

• Myself
• The author of this ElixirForum post

Anyway, disregard me! 😅
