I've been playing around with rebar3 (3.15.0) just to get it to run with the basic templates, and running into issues just trying to get a simple Hello World type example program going. I am starting with the template command to build a new release:
rebar3 new release myfirstproj.
It works fine when I run rebar3 shell but gives me the error below when running the release command: myfirstproj.cmd console after building it with rebar3 release.
The only thing I've added to the base template is a io:format("Hello world!") in the supervisor.. It seems like the undef below is indicating it can't find the myfirstproj_app:start function.. any ideas why it doesn't work here but works in the rebar3 shell?
