Hi Folks,

I am trying to add a custom authorisation plug to my router, and I am getting an error in VSCode for the following code, and I can’t really work out why it’s complaining, been staring at this for a couple go hours now and was wondering if anyone could put me out of my misery?

Here’s the code, it’s pretty basic stuff.

  def require_admin_user(%{current_user: current_user} = conn, _opts) do
    if current_user.admin do
      conn
    else
      conn
      |> put_flash(:error, "You must log in to access this page.")
      |> maybe_store_return_to()
      |> redirect(to: Routes.user_session_path(conn, :new))
      |> halt()
    end
  end

  def require_admin_user(conn, _opts) do
    conn
    |> put_flash(:error, "You must log in to access this page.")
    |> maybe_store_return_to()
    |> redirect(to: Routes.user_session_path(conn, :new))
    |> halt()
  end

It’s the conn in the else of the def require_admin_user(%{current_user: current_user} = conn, _opts) function that it’s complaining about:

The call 'Elixir.Phoenix.Controller':put_flash
