Hello everybody,

I’m following guidelines and instructions of the well-known Phoenix book “Programming Phoenix” and as I’m now on page 93 I tried to execute “mix ecto.migrate” after generating the resources.

The command shell outputs this error:

Compiling 13 files (.ex)

    == Compilation error on file web/views/video_view.ex ==
    ** (SyntaxError) web/templates/video/index.html.eex:16: unexpected token: "\" (column 8, codepoint U+005C)

        (phoenix) expanding macro: Phoenix.Template.__before_compile__/1

        (elixir) lib/kernel/parallel_compiler.ex:117: anonymous fn/4 in Kernel.ParallelCompiler.spawn_compilers/1

I updated the router with the new resources before that.

I hope this is informative. Of course I can provide further details if needed.

Can you detect what kind of problem this is?

Thank you

It would help if you include the code you get the compilation error on.

please show us the content of web/templates/video/index.html.eex

It seems to be explicit, You should show us the video/index.html, especially line 8 of this file :slight_smile:

@kokolegorille where do you read line 8? I read line 16, coloumn 8…

kokolegorille

kokolegorille

Oh yes, it’s column 8…

So this is my web/templates/video/index.html.eex

<h2>Listing videos</h2>

<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>User</th>
      <th>\</th>

      <th></th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
<%= for video <- @videos do %>
    <tr>
      <td><%= video.user_id %></td>
      <td><%= video.\ %></td>

      <td class="text-right">
        <%= link "Show", to: video_path(@conn, :show, video), class: "btn btn-default btn-xs" %>
        <%= link "Edit", to: video_path(@conn, :edit, video), class: "btn btn-default btn-xs" %>
        <%= link "Delete", to: video_path(@conn, :delete, video), method: :delete, data: [confirm: "Are you sure?"], class: "btn btn-danger btn-xs" %>
      </td>
    </tr>
<% end %>
  </tbody>
</table>

<%= link "New video", to: video_path(@conn, :new) %>

There is video.\ that causes the error

The block should be

        <td><%= video.user_id %></td>
        <td><%= video.url %></td>
        <td><%= video.title %></td>
        <td><%= video.description %></td>

Thanks, the command shell isn’t putting out an error for index.html.eex anymore.

Now it complains about web/templates/video/show.html.eex:

== Compilation error on file web/views/video_view.ex ==
** (SyntaxError) web/templates/video/show.html.eex:12: unexpected token: "\" (column 9, codepoint U+005C)
    (eex) lib/eex/compiler.ex:36: EEx.Compiler.generate_buffer/4
    (phoenix) lib/phoenix/template.ex:378: Phoenix.Template.compile/2
    (phoenix) lib/phoenix/template.ex:186: Phoenix.Template."-MACRO-__before_compile__/2-fun-0-"/3
    (elixir) lib/enum.ex:1755: Enum."-reduce/3-lists^foldl/2-0-"/3
    (phoenix) expanding macro: Phoenix.Template.__before_compile__/1
    web/views/video_view.ex:1: Rumbl.VideoView (module)
    (elixir) lib/kernel/parallel_compiler.ex:117: anonymous fn/4 in Kernel.ParallelCompiler.spawn_compilers/1

My web/templates/video/show.html.eex file is:

<h2>Show video</h2>

<ul>

  <li>
<strong>User:</strong>
<%= @video.user_id %>
  </li>

  <li>
<strong>\:</strong>
<%= @video.\ %>
  </li>

</ul>

<%= link "Edit", to: video_path(@conn, :edit, @video) %>
<%= link "Back", to: video_path(@conn, :index) %>

So the correction of this error follows a similar pattern?

kokolegorille

kokolegorille

Yes, like this

  <li>
    <strong>User:</strong>
    <%= @video.user_id %>
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Url:</strong>
    <%= @video.url %>
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Title:</strong>
    <%= @video.title %>
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Description:</strong>
    <%= @video.description %>
  </li>

But I find it strange, because when doing this last year, I do recall there were generated.

I’m just trying to guess why You have these mistakes. If You are using a unix shell, You might want to look at history and check if You entered right shell commands

beedsson OP

Thanks for the code. I’m going to put it in.

And right, I thought of the same. The code that I’m getting those errors on wasn’t touched by me but generated by the command

mix phoenix.gen.html Video videos user_id:references:users
url:string title:string description:text* creating web/controllers/video_controller.ex

as instructed on page 92. So we can conclude, this is implicating a previous false / missed shell command? Or could it be caused by a bad code in another file, or possibly both?
