Hi Dave,
I wanted to do a quick and dirty proof of concept, so I simply compiled
some Elixir code to .beam and placed that .beam alongside other couchdb's
beams. The .beam itself does not contain any calls to Elixir stdlib, so I
assumed it would work.
I've also tried using ERL_LIBS like this:
ERL_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-1.3.1 couchdb -n -A .
didn't work. Although, running erl from the same directory works:
λ ERL_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-1.3.1 erl
1> 'Elixir.CouchQuery':start_link().
{ok,<0.34.0>}
I thought CouchDB may be started in embedded mode, but failed to identify
that in the start script. My question is: why can't it find the newly added
.beam?
