Elixir Windows Installation - No documentation found errors on help command
AmitGoenka opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi,
I am very new to Elixir and I downloaded the windows installer and installed on my windows 7 machine. The setup was smooth and my IEX terminal comes up fine.
However, when I click CTRL+C, I do not get the break menu and when I execute the following command:
h String.strip/2
I get the response:
No documentation for String.strip/2 found.
I checked that my Erlang is also installed correctly and Erlang terminal opens up fine too. Also, I have set up an environment variable - IEX_WITH_WERL
Also String.strip/2 is deprecated, so I would try accessing the docs for
another function.

The documentation issue would happen if Elixir was compiled without docs. I
will investigate on my side.
The Ctrl+C is expected depending on your console session on Windows. You
can try "iex --werl" and see if it provides a better experience.

Closing this for now, let me know if you have more info.
Hi, I hadn't compiled the source for the setup, and had used the installer instead. So may be that's why I couldn't access the docs. This works for now. Thank you!
