:tzdata_release_updater terminating, argument error about tzdata

[lau]

A new version 0.5.8 has just been release. It has improved error handling for errors related to latest_remote_poll.txt.

I tried deleting the _build folder with no luck...

[matteosister]

the problem seems related to the last version of tzdata: 0.5.7
the 0.5.6 version works!

[matteosister]

the downgrade to 0.5.6 makes it work also on 0.5.7...after upgrading again now it works. 😓

I'm not sure what the issue is. There have been issues with Timex. I recommend using Calendar: https://github.com/lau/calendar

Same issue here, and I'm using Calendar.

[benwilson512]

rm -rf _build solved this for me.

Is this is development mode or does it happen when deployed to a server?

Did you have this config setting set? config :tzdata, :data_dir, "/some/path/here"

[benwilson512]

At the moment merely development, and no I do not have any such config set.

[lau]

From the line numbers, looking at the code, it looks like it tries to open a file latest_remote_poll.txt but it can't. I will try to see if I can provoke the same error.

Thanks! I continue to be very happy with Calendar by the way, great work.

[lau]

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I got the same issue, I have :calendar, "~> 0.14.0" as a dependency. Resolved by specifying :tzdata, "~> 0.5.7" in the list of deps which updated the tzdata (ETS table and its related file):

[debug] Tzdata polling for update.
[debug] Tzdata downloading new data from https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz
[debug] Tzdata data downloaded. Release version 2016d.
[info] Tzdata has updated the release from 2016c to 2016d
[debug] Tzdata deleting ETS table for version 2016c
[debug] Tzdata deleting ETS table file for version 2016c

I removed tzdata from the list of deps and now I no longer get the errors. I hope this helps in spotting the issue.
