Elixir Code: How to Avoid Errors
The error messages will say that this does not work according to the success type. A lot of times it means like the way you've written it and you're assuming it's going to work. And so when you're looking at your code, you're not seeing these places where I'm explicitly doing an inline a match in my Elixir code. So just little things like that, take some time to get your head around. But in the end, you actually end up with better code, right? Yeah.
Dialyzer is something that eventually everyone hears about in the Elixir community. It's a static code analysis tool that has both fans and detractors, and with good reasons on both sides! We talk with Noah Betzen about how he brought Dialyzer to several mature Elixir projects. He wanted the benefits of finding and fixing bugs and to prevent new problems from being added. He shared tools, strategies and other resources for how to get started without stopping everything to fix all the existing problems. If you've ever tried to add Dialyzer to a project and aborted, then this discussion may give you the courage and the tools to try again!
