Briefings
A Gleam project previously compiling to Erlang source is now failing to do so, causing a build failure for users relying on this specific configuration. The issue appears to be a recent change in the compiler's behavior regarding source compilation, affecting projects that previously generated Erlang source files.
Key points
- Gleam projects that previously successfully compiled to Erlang source are now failing to generate that source.
- The build failure occurs specifically for projects configured to output Erlang source files.
Context
This issue affects Gleam developers who rely on the ability to compile their projects to Erlang source for further processing or deployment.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single article from October 2026. No specific project names, error messages, or dates of the failure are provided. The root cause remains unknown.
