Start "iex" with loading app, and run command in 1 line

Question

I want to do auto build like "gulp.js" in Node.js.

$ iex -S mix -e 'DribbbleGif.main'

** (Mix) Cannot implicitly pass flags to default mix task, please invoke instead: mix run

I want to do this in 1 line command.

1. load app
2. start "iex"
3. do function (DribbbleGif.main)

---

Because, finally I want to watch file like this.

chokidar **/*.exs **/*.ex -c 'iex -S mix -e 'DribbbleGif.main''

---

If you have other solution for auto build, please tell me it.

Answer 1

iex -S mix run -e "DribbbleGif.main"
