SSH Console - Elixir App

Questions / Help
1

Hi,

I will often use fly ssh console to use IEx on a remote application. This morning I ran

fly ssh console -a app-staging -s  -C "/app/bin/app remote

It connected and gave me an IEx prompt, but I cannot run any of the functions. When I try to look up a record using Repo I get:

** (RuntimeError) could not lookup Ecto repo App.Repo.Local because it was not started or it does not exist
    lib/ecto/repo/registry.ex:22: Ecto.Repo.Registry.lookup/1
    lib/ecto/repo/supervisor.ex:160: Ecto.Repo.Supervisor.tuplet/2
    lib/gaming/repo.ex:3: Gaming.Repo.Local.get_by/3
    iex:1: (file)

The application is up and running, we have not deployed or changed the infrastructure in any way. Does anyone else have this issue or know what is going on?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hey @andrewbarr1, we recently changed flyctl not to allocate a pseudo-terminal when given an explicit command (to match the behavior that people expect from OpenSSH). You can still run interactive apps that need a pseudo-terminal by adding --pty to the fly ssh console command. I’m not sure if this is what’s causing your problem, but perhaps it will help?
