When a module attribute is based on the return of a function defined on another module, can we say we've a module dependency?
The case exposed on this repository shows a problem you might face when redefining a module attribute that other modules depend, which won't perceive the change.
Run iex -S mix and check the values of values/0 function of modules Module A and B, which will
be:
iex(1)> ModuleDependency.ModuleA.values
[:value_a, :value_b, :value_c]
iex(2)> ModuleDependency.ModuleB.values
[:value_a, :value_b, :value_c]After that, switch ModuleA comments of lines 6 and 7 and copy-paste it on the mix session to redefine it.
Now execute the functions again and notice that ModuleB don't reflect the changes.
