[error] backend port not found: :inotifywait #776
Comments
Yes! You need that for live reloading, we need to make the docs/guides better. Install instructions here: https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/wiki I can improve phoenix_live_reload readme but I am pinging @jeregrine @lancehalvorsen to let them know and figure out if something needs to be done in the guides front. |
Thanks, that was what i needed to know :) |
@josevalim Having just hit the issue on my linux install, seems the inotify instructions should also be on the installation page, not just the overview page, no? |
Ok, that's great; but how do I just turn inotifywait off? What if I don't need it? What if the error shuts down a dockerized phoenix container I am trying to run? |
@twajjo it shouldn't shutdown a phoenix container and it is used only in development. If you don't want it at all, remove phoenix_live_reload as a dependency and from your endpoint.ex. |
Thanks, Jose. I agree that it should not shut down the phoenix container, and it does not if I use a shell entry point and start the server by hand, but (weirdly enough) it does. Still trying to figure out what the issue is. |
@twajjo are you setting |
Yes I am. The issue was a bad Dockerfile example provided by a co-worker. I have resolved the issue, but many thanks for your attention. And many more thanks for my new favorite language, Jose. |
I get the message
when running
mix phoenix.server
I think i am missing something but i can't find something about phoenix and inotify or inotifywait on google or in the docs. Maybe it has something to do with code reloading?
Edit:
I have Elixir 1.0.3 and phoenix 0.11
