Error while upgrading from v1.10.0 to 1.10.1 about elixir_agent HOT 6 CLOSED

As the versions has several commits, I tried to check by commit individually :

{:new_relic_agent, github: "newrelic/elixir_agent", ref: "ref_of_the_commit", override: true},

And the error occur at b742e39

So my it's not related to OTP (#138). I'll check to get a better understanding on what happen.

From the console :

iex(0)>NewRelic.Config.enabled?()
false
iex(1)>payload = NewRelic.Harvest.Collector.Connect.payload()
iex(2)>NewRelic.Harvest.Collector.Protocol.connect(payload)
{:error, :harvest_disabled}

Seem that this error is not handle

Thanks, I'll take a look today

Hi, I was able to reproduce this by running against OTP 20.

It's caused because AgentRun leverages handle_continue which was added to GenServer in OTP 21. In 20 that GenServer can't boot so the ETS table doesn't get created so trying to access it causes a crash...

I'll see what I can do to get the OTP version requirements front and center so this can't happen...

Can you upgrade your OTP version?

This PR will raise a helpful error if the app is started pre OTP 21 #151

Thank you. I get a better understanding now. I wondering what was the handle_continue.
And the error was not clear. It's clearly better !

Can you upgrade your OTP version?

😱 😢 😨 I'm afraid but this will not be possible in my case.

I'll try to find an alternative solution (maybe fork the gem and reimplement the AgentRun to OTP 20).

FYI, the upcoming Elixir 1.10 release will also be OTP 21+ only.
