Issues within the setup example for an existing elixir-application.

[itoxiq]

Hello there :)

Currently when following the documentation for adding the sync-service to an existing elixir application, the following issue arises.

The example uses the Electric.Utils.obfuscate_password method like this.

database_config = [
   ...
]

config :electric,
  connection_opts: Electric.Utils.obfuscate_password(database_config)

But as far as i know the configuration is evaluated before the dependencies are compiled -> you can't use code from dependencies in the configuration and will lead to the following error.

(UndefinedFunctionError) function Electric.Utils.obfuscate_password/1 is undefined (module Electric.Utils is not available)

[tmm]

workaround

config :electric,
  connection_opts: [
    password: fn -> "postgres" end, # <- load and wrap in function
    # other opts
    # ...
  ]
