cannot define module because it is currently being defined

[Alex Shneyderman]

I am having a problem compiling a project:

16:42:59 goulash_control > mix compile 

== Compilation error on file lib/goulash/control.ex ==

** (CompileError) lib/goulash/control.ex:1: cannot define module Goulash.Control because it is currently being defined

    (stdlib) erl_eval.erl:569: :erl_eval.do_apply/6

    (elixir) src/elixir.erl:140: :elixir.eval_forms/4

    (elixir) src/elixir_lexical.erl:17: :elixir_lexical.run/2

16:43:04 goulash_control > mix -v

Elixir 0.12.5

The module's in question source is below:

defmodule Goulash.Control do

    use Application.Behaviour

    def start do

        :application.start(:elixir)

        :application.start(:goulash_control)

    end

    def start(_type, _args) do

        :supervisor.start_link({:local, Goulash.ControlSup}, Goulash.ControlSup, [])

    end

    

end

I do not exactly understand what the problem is. Any hints are appreciated.

Cheers,

Alex.

Do you have, by any chance, another file defining the same module?

no. I am in a habbit of defining module per .ex file so no I am pretty sure there is no such thing. I also checked defrecord no duplcates there either.

Is there a way to make mix a bit more verbose so I can see exactly what it confuses for the given module? 

[Alex Shneyderman]

hmm, sorry a file move was over-ridden by an old sublime buffer.

all is good now. 

[José Valim]

Alex, we probably should say where the other module and file is being defined. Can you please open up an issue so we take care of that? Thanks!
