Recently we’ve got an interesting post on our forum and looks like it’s Erlang related:

After some investigation we have found something surprising (?) about escript.exe, see below image:

As you can see there is lots of debug information, but at the end there is a Mix.Error with only exact command, but without any output message from escript.exe … My first idea was that mix lacks in debugging external command output, but as José Valim pointed there is :into option passed, so the output message should be correctly printed by the default shell … which is not a case?

Since mix deps.compile fails on escript.exe resulting with non-zero exit status and no output message it become a very hard to debug issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a failing command:

escript.exe "c:/Users/pedro/.mix/elixir/1-17/rebar3" bare compile --paths c:/Users/pedro/Desktop/Coding/Elixir/zaworld/_build/dev/lib/*/ebin
