I followed the instructions for upgrading phoenix 1.4 to 1.5.0-rc.0 but when I run mix phx.server. I get the following error.

** (Mix) Could not start application patchtrace: Patchtrace.Application.start(:normal, []) 
returned an error: shutdown: failed to start child: PatchtraceWeb.Endpoint
** (EXIT) an exception was raised:
    ** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Phoenix.Socket.__child_spec__/2 is undefined or 
private
        (phoenix 1.5.0-rc.0) Phoenix.Socket.__child_spec__(Phoenix.LiveReloader.Socket,

Any ideas

Can you show your application.ex file?

Yeah sure the only change was adding this line {Phoenix.PubSub, name: Patchtrace.PubSub},

defmodule Patchtrace.Application do
  # See https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Application.html
  # for more information on OTP Applications
  @moduledoc false

 use Application

def start(_type, _args) do
# List all child processes to be supervised
children = [
  # Start the PubSub system
 {Phoenix.PubSub, name: Patchtrace.PubSub},

 # Start the Ecto repository
  Patchtrace.Repo,

  # Start the endpoint when the application starts
  PatchtraceWeb.Endpoint
  # Starts a worker by calling: Patchtrace.Worker.start_link(arg)
  # {Patchtrace.Worker, arg},
]

# See https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Supervisor.html
# for other strategies and supported options
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: Patchtrace.Supervisor]
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
end

# Tell Phoenix to update the endpoint configuration
# whenever the application is updated.
def config_change(changed, _new, removed) do
  PatchtraceWeb.Endpoint.config_change(changed, removed)
 :ok
 end
end

Try to do mix clean and retry.

No luck with this. When I downgrade to phoenix 1.4. Everything works fine. So something is breaking during the upgrade.

I also ran into that issue. I tried first to comment the line related to LiveReloader (within the block if code_reloading? do ... end) in endpoint.ex file. Server started without issue. When I commented back the issue came back.
I think I ran mix deps.clean phoenix_live_reload && mix deps.update phoenix_live_reload to make it work.

Thanks, it worked for me.

Same problem and same solution here, thanks a lot!

Maybe this step (and a few others related to other common issues) should be added to the guide?

I had same issue when I upgrade my phoenix app from 1.4.17 to 1.5.1.

I was not able to solve this problem just by cleaning phoenix_live_reload.

I reinstalled all deps by mix deps.clean --all && mix deps.get && mix compile, then everything went well.
