Mustache conflict at release build

Question

I use wooga's fork of mustache.erl (https://github.com/wooga/mustache.erl) in my project. And when I try to create release I get an error because rebar uses this mustache.beam file instead of a file included in its source. What should I do to resolve this conflict?

Answer 1

The reason is not in rebar but is that some app in release tool search path contains the mustache.erl file as you release does. Usually rel.config file contains {lib_dirs, ["../.."]} that force release tool search libs (apps) up your release directory. See example below. To fix it, move your release directory dipper (for example -> you_release/you_release) or move app that contains the same file (mustache.erl) to other place.

│   │           └── mustache.erl
│   ├── ebin

├── rebar (or any other app contains mustache.erl)
