Say I'm writing a new module, the code is not ready yet, and I want to check something in repl. I run iex -S mix, and it fails due to compilation errors that I still do not intend to fix.
iex -S mix
I assume there is the latest compiled version of my application that I could run with iex. How to do it?
iex
mixis an abbreviation of mix run. If you call mix help run, you will see that there are many options, including --no-compile. Therefore:
mix
mix run
mix help run
--no-compile
iex -S mix run --no-compile
