Ash_phoenix.gen.live - how can I use newer version of generators?

I am getting a message while using the ash_phoenix generator

if Layouts.app causes a problem, you may be on an older version of the generators

The command I am using is -

mix ash_phoenix.gen.live --domain Dci.Accounts --resource MyApp.Accounts.Organisation --resourceplural organisations

My question is -
How can I use newer version of generators?
I have updated everything - elixir, phoenix, all dependencies

There is some documentation here - Live layouts — Phoenix LiveView v1.0.17, which looks related to the issue. But I am not able to understand it and fix the issue.

Thanks!

  • Re-run the generator after the layout update
mix ash_phoenix.gen.live \
  --domain Dci.Accounts \
  --resource MyApp.Accounts.Organisation \
  --resourceplural organisations

I did regenerate the files after update, but there is no change.

I think, it is expecting a change in app.html.heex file or my_app_web.ex file.

I have also created a new phoenix project to manually compare the files. But I cannot figure out what it is.

@explorer-trail
kindly ensure your project is using

Phoenix 1.7+ layout structure

If you generated your Phoenix project before 1.7, the layout folder may be outdated.

It does generate the new ones. It’s just a notice because of the transition. Should be fine. Do generated files work?

edit: Wait, just to check, you are using a release candidate, 1.8 Phoenix?

There is an option you can pass for the generator command:

`--phx-version` - Phoenix version 1.7 (old) or 1.8 (new). Defaults to 1.8

It seems that since ash_phoenix 2.3.x onwards points to Phoenix 1.8 rc by default, which brings many changes to the components.

Using --phx-version is working. It uses Phonix 1.7.x components

Full command =
mix ash_phoenix.gen.live --domain Dci.Accounts --resource MyApp.Accounts.Organisation --resourceplural organisations --phx-version v1.7.21

Thank you
