CompileError exception (Elixir v1.19.4)

View Source

An exception raised when there's an error when compiling code.

For example:

1 = y
** (CompileError) iex:1: undefined variable "y"

The following fields of this exceptions are public and can be accessed freely:

  • :file (Path.t/0 or nil) - the file where the error occurred, or nil if the error occurred in code that did not come from a file
  • :line (non_neg_integer/0) - the line where the error occurred

This is mostly raised by Elixir tooling when compiling and evaluating code.
