[Ecto] Cannot set "autogenerate: true" when the primary key type of the embedded schema is :id

Questions / Help
1

Ecto’s documentation does not clearly state whether it supports auto-increment. When I set this up, an incomprehensible error occurs.

@primary_key {:id, :id, autogenerate: true}
embedded_schema do
  # ...
end

Error:

** (CaseClauseError) no case clause matching: {:id, :id, :id}
code: {:ok, _} = Comic.create(build_params())

So the embedded schema does not support the primary key integer increment?

I’m just facing this same error right now…
I wonder if it is is a bug?

Not sure how there’s a three-tuple getting to that function, but embeds don’t support autoincrement:
