Exploring Graphs with Elixir: Out of scope variable won't print (105, 107)

Exploring Graphs with Elixir by @tonyhammond: P.105, 107 — Ch 3 > Visualizing Graphs > Rendering with Graphviz

In making the water molecule and after writing a graph file using a variable, we’re told in 2 examples to print out the variable to inspect it using IO.puts

iex>​​ ​​with​​ ​​{:ok,​​ ​​dot}​​ ​​=​​ ​​Graph.to_dot(g)​​ ​​do​
​...>​​ ​​write_graph(dot,​​ ​​"dot/h2o.dot"​​)​
​...>​​ ​​end​
#GraphCommons.Graph<type: native, file: "...", data: "strict graph {\n...">​
​ 	
​iex>​​ ​​IO.puts​​ ​​dot​
strict graph {
​ 	    "O"
​ 	    "H"
​ 	    "H"
​ 	    "H" -- "O" [weight=1]
​ 	    "H" -- "O" [weight=1]
}​ 	
:ok

Maybe it’s just me, but this produces a function dot/0 not found error.
The variable “dot” is probably no longer in scope after having performed the first operation.

To make it print, I moved the print command above write_graph/2 command like so:

iex>​​ ​​with​​ ​​{:ok,​​ ​​dot}​​ ​​=​​ ​​Graph.to_dot(g)​​ ​​do​
...> IO.puts dot
...>​​ ​​write_graph(dot,​​ ​​"dot/h2o.dot"​​)​
...>​​ ​​end​
​ 
(graph output...)	​
#GraphCommons.Graph<type: native, file: "...", data: "strict graph {\n...">​

Marked As Solved

Thanks for the catch.

I fixed this by reading it back in from the file store, as so:

iex> IO.puts read_graph(“dot/default.dot”).data

In two places.

Should be in the next beta.
