Network Programming in Elixir and Erlang: Chat integration tests are failing at random
Title: Network Programming in Elixir and Erlang (p. 56)
Hi,
Thanks for the amazing book, first and foremost.
I found that Chat app integration tests, as they are provided on page 56, are randomly failing when I’m running them multiple times.
For example, all mix test runs were executed against the same codebase, with no modifications. Some runs succeeded, some failed and failed in different tests.
