Elixir .exs script "module is not loaded and could not be found" when using Mix

Question

I have a .exs script in my root directory that I want to be able to execute on the command line like elixir my_script.exs. My script was working before I initialized Mix in my project but now it does not work. I can see that Mix is placing the .beam files in the ebin/ directory but apparently my script is not looking in there.

What is the proper way to load custom modules into a .exs script?

Answer 1

You can run script like: mix run my_script.exs

OR

mix compile
elixir -pa ebin/ my_script.exs
