Code.format_string! returns iodata, not a list, so Enum.slice fails. Changed to use IO.iodata_to_binary and String.slice instead. This fixes the Enumerable protocol error when formatting Surface templates with keyword list attributes in Elixir 1.19.0-rc.0.

Description
Fixes Surface formatter compatibility with Elixir 1.19.0-rc.0 while maintaining backward compatibility with Elixir 1.18.
Problem
When running
mix formaton.sfacefiles with Elixir 1.19.0-rc.0, the Surface formatter crashes with:Root Cause
In
lib/surface/formatter/phases/render.ex, the formatter tries to useEnum.sliceon the result ofCode.format_string!, which returns iodata (not a list). Elixir 1.19 is stricter about this type mismatch.Solution
Changed from:
To:
Also removed the redundant
to_string()call in the else branch sinceIO.iodata_to_binary()already returns a binary.Compatibility
This fix is fully backward compatible with Elixir 1.18:
IO.iodata_to_binary/1exists in both Elixir 1.18 and 1.19String.slice/2exists in both versionsTesting
Tested formatting Surface templates with:
