Elixir & Phoenix: add memcache_client library to app - memcached

Question

I want to use this libary in my Phoenix App to connect to Memcache: https://github.com/tsharju/memcache_client
When I run my server I get this error:
** (exit) exited in: :gen_server.call(Memcache.Client.Pool, {:checkout, #Reference<0.0.1.768>, true}, 5000)
** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started
:erlang.send(Memcache.Client.Pool, {:"$gen_cast", {:cancel_waiting, #Reference<0.0.1.768>}}, [:noconnect])
I know there is a doc saying:
Also, remember to add :memcache_client to your :applications list if
you wish that the application is started automatically.
But I don't understand what I should do in my Phoenix app. Any help? Thanks!

Answer 1

In mix.exs, add :memcache_client to the key :applications in the function application/0:
def application do
[mod: {MyApp, []},
applications: [:phoenix, :phoenix_pubsub, :phoenix_html, :cowboy, :logger, :gettext,
:phoenix_ecto, :postgrex]]
end
->
def application do
[mod: {MyApp, []},
applications: [:phoenix, :phoenix_pubsub, :phoenix_html, :cowboy, :logger, :gettext,
:phoenix_ecto, :postgrex, :memcache_client]]
end

Solved it. Just edit the mix.exs file. There is a method application that returns applications list:
def application do
[mod: {MyApp, []},
applications: [:phoenix, :phoenix_pubsub, :phoenix_html, :cowboy, :logger, :gettext,
:phoenix_ecto, :postgrex, :memcache_client]] # add memcache_client here
end
