Custom config settings doesn't work about slugger HOT 7 CLOSED

Have you tried mix clean and then mix compile? Also a brutal rm -rf _build should work.

My local tests did not need any compile step, because of @external_resource.

I'm having the same problem. Where does the custom file go? Where is lib relative to? Nowhere seems to work, even with clearing out the build and recompiling.

Could you please show how your folder layout looks like?

When the library is installed via mix it should look somehow like this:

config/dev.exs <- Put your own config in here.
deps/slugger/lib/replacements.exs <- This is the default file
priv/slugger_replacements.exs <- This is our custom file.

Have you tried using __DIR__ in your config? Then you could make the path relative to config/.

I'm wondering how this should be working when using erlang releases. The packaging will result in a different path for the priv dir and using :code.priv_dir(:myapp) would not work in the config.exs.

from slugger.

The idea is to have a relative path from __DIR__ inside your project, what should work independent from absolute location.

from slugger.

Yeah, but a static relative path is also not present by default in an erlang release. Priv files live in lib/myapp-0.0.1/priv/, which is neither a fitting relative path in the dev environment of a mix project nor static as it's including the version of the application. In my opinion the most sane way would be to have the config be a relative path within /priv and the application name while using Path.join(:code.priv_dir(:myapp), rel_path) within slugger to build an absolute path from both.

from slugger.

Okay, have you tried this? Is there a error message?

Because the replacemenets.exs file is only used at compile. If a different file is used by configuration, it does not need to be inside the release because it has become code at compiletime.
