<div>Hi, erlang beginner here.</div><div><br></div><div>I have a question about the best way to debug apps which include dependencies.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm working on an app, and so far, I've been testing it by using rebar to generate a release, then starting a console for the release and going from there. The problem comes when I want to use something like dbg or appmon to debug errors or inspect the state of my app. When I try to do, e.g. appmon:start() from the console for my release, it tells me "undefined function appmon:start/0". I'm guessing this is because I didn't explicitly specify appmon in my release configuration?</div><div><br></div><div>Alternatively, I created a start.sh shell script with contents like this:</div><div><br></div><div>erl -pa apps/*/ebin -pa deps/*/ebin -eval 'application:start(dependency1), application:start(dependency2), application:start(myapp).'</div><div><br></div><div>This lets me start appmon and whatever else I want when I run into errors, but feels pretty messy and wrong.</div><div><br></div><div>I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here. What's the correct way to do this?</div>
