unable to run when from escript about tzdata

[lau]

Hi Bryan

Tzdata versions 0.5 and higher don't work with escripts currently. Because escript don't work with ETS tables. AFAIK in future Elixir versions they will.
Try specifying tzdata version ~> 0.1.7 in your deps file. That should work.

Thanks Lau. Changed version as suggested. Worked.

Thanks for this discussion. It helped me workaround the same issue. I'm now motivated to learn how I can launch my application without using escript so I can avoid having to use an old version of tzdata in my project.

@kenbod - some more discussion around the loading data when disconnected from the internet can be found here - #25 - perhaps it is possible to stay with escript but specify a data file load path outside the escript.

Thanks, I'll check the "data file load path" option out if I find I need a newer version of tzdata.

I try to use tzdata as transitive dependency from Calendar with escript and failed again... I had to downgrade
