[erlang-questions] ssl:connect fail

[Technion]

Hi,


I was wondering if I could get some assistance with an application I'm building.


Up until now, I've been running development starting it with:


./rebar3 shell


This works (although the app isn't finished). It starts my gen_server automatically and I can sit there watching the debug logging run (which seems to be more than the documented "Run shell with project apps in path"). I also have a series of eunit tests that run fine, and xref doesn't complain.


However, attempting to turn this into a release and start it seems to fail:


$ ./rebar3 release

$ /home/technion/ct_advisor/_build/default/rel/ct_advisor/bin/ct_advisor console
Exec: /usr/lib/erlang/erts-7.1/bin/erlexec -boot /home/technion/ct_advisor/_build/default/rel/ct_advisor/releases/0.1.0/ct_advisor -boot_var ERTS_LIB_DIR /usr/lib/erlang/erts-7.1/../lib -config /home/technion/ct_advisor/_build/default/rel/ct_advisor/releases/0.1.0/sys.config -args_file /home/technion/ct_advisor/_build/default/rel/ct_advisor/releases/0.1.0/vm.args -- console

... lots of stuff snipped.



The failure here appears to be within ibrowse, so I'm expecting it's not a code error. It also appears to feel ssl:connect doesn't load.


There are lots of Google hits for this type of error, suggesting Erlang wasn't built with SSL support. But I have eunit tests that actually run ibrowse (to https: addresses) and they work. And the whole thing runs when run from within a shell.


I'm totally lost as to why a release (which seems to build fine) would be magically different.


Version information:

$ ./rebar3 -v
rebar 3.0.0-beta.4+build.188.ref73c3c55 on Erlang/OTP 18 Erts 7.1


Any assistance appreciated.
