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)

        (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
