Halt Task

Simple Mix Task that halts the system when executed. Literally it's just a mix task that calls System.halt().

It's useful to halt the system after some task is complete. For example when running tests on IEx to close the IEx after the test suite runs.

Installation

mix archive.install https://github.com/scudelletti/halt_task/raw/master/archives/halt_task.ez

Example: How to use - It will close IEx after tests run

MIX_ENV=test iex -S mix do test, halt

You can achieve the same behavior using mix run -e "System.halt" something like:

MIX_ENV=test iex -S mix do test, run -e "System.halt"
