Where to put the plugin configuration #15

Closed MSch closed 9 years ago

MSch commented 9 years ago

https://github.com/hexpm/rebar3_hex/blob/f48d66a9bd2b5b7c5db4eaeed7b917d2b7b20f03/README.md#usage says to put {plugins, [rebar3_hex]}. in my project's rebar.config.

http://www.rebar3.org/docs/using-available-plugins#hex-package-management says

For the hex plugin it is suggested to place the entry in the global rebar3 config which should be made as ~/.config/rebar3/rebar.config.

I recently published http://github.com/ferd/backoff to hex.pm so I could easily depend on it from my Elixir/mix project. I then got a WARN: Missing plugins: [rebar3_hex] message when building the dependency using mix, so I've removed {plugins, [rebar3_hex]}. from backoff's rebar.config and rely on ~/.config/rebar3/rebar.config.

What is the best practice approach here?

The global plugin approach is the one favoured by rebar3
