Igniter stuck in loop on brand new install

I have a brand new install, when I run the command (provided by https://ash-hq.org/#installer), it gets stuck in an infinite loop of: 
setting up igniter ✔
compiling igniter ✔
setting up igniter ✔
compiling igniter ✔
setting up igniter ✔
compiling igniter ✔
...
setting up igniter ✔
compiling igniter ✔
setting up igniter ✔
compiling igniter ✔
setting up igniter ✔
compiling igniter ✔
...
How do I convince igniter that setting up and compiling once is enough?

🤔 Can you add --verbose to the command?

I trimmed back the igniter command to just install ash: 
❯ mix igniter.install ash --verbose

So you're currently in an Elixir proejct right? like in a folder w/ a mix.exs file etc?

Yes - this is the full command I used to create it: 
sh <(curl 'https://ash-hq.org/install/unfluence?install=phoenix') \                                                          ─╯
    && cd unfluence && mix igniter.install ash ash_phoenix \
    ash_postgres ash_authentication ash_authentication_phoenix \
    ash_admin live_debugger mishka_chelekom cloak ash_cloak \
    --auth-strategy magic_link --yes && mix ash.setup
sh <(curl 'https://ash-hq.org/install/unfluence?install=phoenix') \                                                          ─╯
    && cd unfluence && mix igniter.install ash ash_phoenix \
    ash_postgres ash_authentication ash_authentication_phoenix \
    ash_admin live_debugger mishka_chelekom cloak ash_cloak \
    --auth-strategy magic_link --yes && mix ash.setup

Interesting So you're installing ash and it's already there? What if you install something else
ieatkittens
ieatkittensOP•3w ago
How can I tell if ash is already there? It's not listed in the generated mix.exs and I don't see it in the deps
ZachDaniel
ZachDaniel•3w ago
That's quite strange. What's the output when you run that original command? Are you on windows?

I am on an M1 macbook running Sequoia 15.3.1 New command: 
sh <(curl 'https://ash-hq.org/install/test_new?install=phoenix') \
    && cd test_new && mix igniter.install ash ash_phoenix \
    ash_postgres ash_authentication ash_authentication_phoenix \
    ash_admin live_debugger --auth-strategy magic_link --yes \
    && mix ash.setup

    && cd test_new && mix igniter.install ash ash_phoenix \

We are almost there! The following steps are missing:

    $ cd test_new

Then configure your database in config/dev.exs and run:

    $ mix ecto.create

Start your Phoenix app with:

    $ mix phx.server

You can also run your app inside IEx (Interactive Elixir) as:

    $ iex -S mix phx.server

Dropping elixir/erlang versions doesn't resolve the issue

Strange... so it happens when you run that first command? Try removing all of the install calls Just the --with phx.new
ieatkittens
ieatkittensOP•3w ago
You mean like this? 
sh <(curl 'https://ash-hq.org/install/test_new?install=phoenix')
sh <(curl 'https://ash-hq.org/install/test_new?install=phoenix')
no igniter installs? ^ That command completes, but if I run igniter after that it goes into it's endless loop (IE, either mix igniter.install with no libraries or mix igniter.install ash)
ZachDaniel
ZachDaniel•3w ago
Okay now add --verbose to that The install task And see if you get anything
ieatkittens
ieatkittensOP•3w ago
Same loop as before: 
mix igniter.install ash --verbose

What on earth Is there anything at all strange about your setup that could point to an issue?
ieatkittens
ieatkittensOP•3w ago
Not to my knowledge! I am super familiar with elixir/Phoenix and I do development on this laptop for that all the time I have another MacBook that is slightly different (m1 max vs m1, Sonoma vs Sequoia) and it works fine there I am upgrading my other laptop to sequoia to see if that makes a difference.. I upgraded my x-code command line tools, restarted, and it works now 🤷‍♂️

Well hopefully if anyone else experiences this, they find this thread and it saves them the troubleshooting 😅
