{error,{not_started,ibrowse}} when using couchbeam - erlang

by this document http://benoitc.github.com/couchbeam/
application:start(sasl),
application:start(ibrowse),
application:start(couchbeam).
When I run the code, it shows:
=PROGRESS REPORT==== 1-Mar-2012::10:16:57 ===
application: crypto
started_at: nonode#nohost
{error,{not_started,ibrowse}}
I want to do know how to make application:start(ibrowse),work, thanks!

According to your error message "started_at: nonode#nohost", I think that it may be caused by your erlang configuration file error.
Have you set up ".erlang.cookie" file, and is the file owner mode is exclusive? Only owner is allowed to read or write?
You can check your problem by inputting the command "erl -sname aaa"? Is output "nonode#nohost"?

It works by erl -pz ibrowse/ebin/

I fixed it with:
erl -pa ebin -pa deps/ibrowse/ebin -s couchbeam

Debugging an Erlang code with eunit in IntelliJ

IDE: IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.2
I set a breakpoint in my Erlang code which has eunit testcases.
In order to debug it, I clicked on "Run --> Debug". I got an error "Test suite was cancelled". What could be the reason?
"C:\Program Files\Erlang OTP\bin\erl.exe" -pa C:\Users\bhu\AppData\Local\Temp\intellij_erlang_debugger_7789 -pa C:/Users/bhu/AppData/Local/Temp/eunit_teamcity9 -pa F:/1TB/P/workspace-IntelliJ-Erlang1/out/test/workspace-IntelliJ-Erlang1 -pa F:/1TB/P/workspace-IntelliJ-Erlang1 -run debugnode main 50067 -noshell -s init stop
Testing started at 20:59 ...
** Invalid beam file or no abstract code: "F:\\1TB\\P\\workspace-IntelliJ-Erlang1\\src\\my_sort.erl"
Test suite was cancelled. Reason: {abort,{module_not_found,my_sort}}
The error means that the module my_sort was not loaded into the VM. You can find the function here. I think this is because the search path to your module my_sort is not added to the code path using the flag -pa /mypath/my_sort.erl.
Could you try to add to the code path using -pa ..?

How to run erlang (rebar build) application

I am new to Erlang world and currently can't figure out how to start my dummy erlang application. Probably, I am just missing something... So, I created an application with rebar (rebar create-app appid=dummys).
Currently I have
rebar.config
src/dummys.app.src
src/dummys_app.erl
src/dummys_sup.erl
I have found that in order to run an application during a development it is better to create an additional start method which should call application:start(module).
I added some basic logging to my start methods..
start() ->
error_logger:info_msg("Starting app(dev)..~n"),
application:start(dummys_app).
start(_StartType, _StartArgs) ->
error_logger:info_msg("Starting app..~n"),
dummys_sup:start_link().
If I try
erl -noshell -pa ebin -s application start dummys
erl -noshell -pa ebin -s application start dummys_app
there are no output..
If I try
erl -noshell -pa ebin -s dummys start
erl crashes with an error..
If I try
erl -noshell -pa ebin -s dummys_app start
it outputs just "Starting app(dev).." and that's all. But I also expect to see "Starting app.."
What I am missing or doing wrong??
=============
And another question: How to add a new module to my dummy application correctly? For example I have an additional module called "*dummys_cool*" which has a "start" method. How to tell my application to run that "dummys_cool#start" method?
Thank you!
For quick development, if you just want to ensure your appliction can start, start a shell, then start the application:
erl -pa ebin
1> dummys_app:start().
That will give you a clean indication of what is wrong and right without the shell bombing out after.
Since you're making an application to run, rather than just a library to share, you'll want to make a release. Rebar can get you most of the way there:
mkdir rel
cd rel
rebar create-node nodeid=dummysnode
After you've compiled your application, you can create a release:
rebar generate
This will build a portable release which includes all the required libraries and even the erlang runtime system. This is put by default in the rel/ directory; in your case rel/dummys.
Within that directory there will be a control script that you can use to start, stop, and attach to the application:
rel/dummys/bin/dummys start
rel/dummys/bin/dummys stop
rel/dummys/bin/dummys start
rel/dummys/bin/dummys attach
Have a look at your dummys.app.src file. The meaning of all the directives is explained in the 'app' manpage, but the one I suspect is missing here is mod, which indicates the name of your application callback module. So make sure that this line is present:
{mod, {dummys_app, []}}
The empty list in there will be passed as the StartArgs argument to dummys_app:start/2.
To make a new module start along with your application, add it to the supervision tree in dummys_sup:init. This function should look something like:
init(_) ->
{ok, {{one_for_one, 10, 10},
[{dummys_cool, {dummys_cool, start_link, []},
permanent, brutal_kill, worker, [dummys_cool]}]}.
This is described in the 'supervisor' manpage, but basically this means that on startup, this supervisor will start one child process. dummys_cool:start_link() will be called, and that function is expected to spawn a new process, link to it, and return its process id. If you need more processes, just add more child specifications to the list.
erl -noshell -pa ebin -s application start dummys
The code above will not work because application:start([dummys]) will be called.
You can take a reference of the Erlang documentation for details.
For your case,
erl -noshell -pa ebin -s dummys
I ran into this problem, and this was the first answer on Google.
If you are using rebar3, the standard configuration will have a shell command that compiles your project and opens a shell:
$ rebar3 shell

An error with Erlang router

I try to make a comet-server using Mochiweb like there.
If I do it from erlang shell, it's alright.
But If try to start 1st node with mochiweb from command line:
erl -pa ebin edit deps/*/ebin -boot start_sasl -sname n1 -s server +K true -setcookie secret_key -s reloader
And 2nd one with router:
erl -pa ebin edit deps/*/ebin -boot start_sasl -sname router -setcookie secret_key -eval 'net_adm:ping(n1#localhost), router:start_link().'
If I connect to mochiweb from browser I have this error
=CRASH REPORT==== 18-Jul-2012::19:04:45 ===

I think that problem is in this string from router.erl:
-define(SERVER, global:whereis_name(?MODULE)).
Because first part of -eval (net_adm:ping(n1#localhost)) was started without errors and I could see n1#localhost in nodes().. But the second part of -eval (router:start_link()) was not available for ?MODULE.
How can I resolve this problem?
Looks like the gen_server that was supposed to be globally registered with name of current module (?MODULE is replaced with it) just has not been started yet. global:whereis_name(?MODULE) will return undefined right in this case, like you see in log you posted.
Find the part of your code that's supposed to do that (by grepping for ?MODULe and/or gen_server:start_link in that module) and make sure it was executed on the first node.

Is there an example how I would create a hello world source file and compile and run it?
No, there is nothing you missed. The Makefile in LFE is "less than perfect" and should be ignored, it will be improved upon in the next release. To compensate all the needed files have already compiled and the .beam files are in the ebin directory. As it is not part of OTP I don't think it should ever install there.
The easiest way to handle this to create a private erlang library directory and point the environment variable ERL_LIBS to it. Then just drop the whole LFE directory there. When erlang starts the code server will automatically add the lfe/ebin directories into the path and the .beam files there will automagically be found and loaded. This will work with any package that contains an ebin directory. This also works on Windows. So:
Make an libs directory, say ~/erlang/lib
Set the environment variable ERL_LIBS, export ERL_LIBS=~/erlang/lib
Put the whole LFE directory there
When you start erlang you will then see /Users/rv/erlang/lib/lfe/ebin (or wherever you have it) in the code path (code:get_path()). You will then also be able to start the LFE shell directly with
erl -noshell -noinput -s lfe_boot start
There will be an lfe and an lfe.bat which does this included as well in the future.
As with erlang any text editor will work to edit LFE. For emacs there is an LFE mode which is still rather basic but works. You cannot yet run LFE in a window. Soon. The best way to include this is to put the following in your .emacs file:
;; LFE mode.
(setq load-path (cons "/Users/rv/erlang/lib/lfe/emacs" load-path))
(require 'lfe-start)
There are some example files in lfe/examples, all should work. In lfe/test/visual there is a bunch of my test files which have been included as example files. To compile an LFE file from the normal erlang shell do
lfe_comp:file("foo").
l(foo). %No autloload here, do this to ensure loading
while from the LFE shell do:
(c '"foo") ;This will autoload
There is a bunch of documentation in lfe/docs which is quite accurate but the user_guide.txt needs to be extended. There is also a Google group for LFE at
http://groups.google.se/group/lisp-flavoured-erlang
which contains some interesting discussions and people have written quite a lot in the github LFE wiki.
That's about it I think. contact me if/when you have more questions.

Log errors in a file

How do I log all process crashes into a file instead of a tty ? I've read in the documentation that there are some standard Erlang modules that can do it (SASL, error_logger), but unfortunately haven't found any clean examples.
Start your erl node with
erl -boot start_sasl -sasl sasl_error_logger \{file,\"path/to/logfile.log\"\}
