Trying to use open_api_spex in my phoenix project.
When I try compiling the project with mix a warning pops us
OpenApiTest.OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpec.init/1 is undefined
I have my router defined as below:
defmodule OpenApiTestWeb.Router do
use OpenApiTestWeb, :router
pipeline :browser do
plug :accepts, ["html"]
plug :fetch_session
plug :fetch_flash
plug :protect_from_forgery
plug :put_secure_browser_headers
end
pipeline :api do
plug :accepts, ["json"]
plug OpenApiSpex.Plug.PutApiSpec, module: OpenApiTestWeb.ApiSpec
end
scope "/", OpenApiTestWeb do
pipe_through :browser
get "/", PageController, :index
get "/payments", PaymentController, :create_payment
get "/openapi", OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpec, []
end
if Mix.env() in [:dev, :test] do
import Phoenix.LiveDashboard.Router
scope "/" do
pipe_through :browser
live_dashboard "/dashboard", metrics: OpenApiTestWeb.Telemetry
end
end
end
OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpec module is present in the deps as below.
defmodule OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpec do
defmodule MyAppWeb.Router do
use Phoenix.Router
alias MyAppWeb.UserController
pipeline :api do
plug :accepts, ["json"]
plug OpenApiSpex.Plug.PutApiSpec, module: MyAppWeb.ApiSpec
end
scope "/api" do
pipe_through :api
resources "/users", UserController, only: [:create, :index, :show]
get "/openapi", OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpec, []
end
end
alias OpenApiSpex.Plug.PutApiSpec
@behaviour Plug
@json_encoder Enum.find([Jason, Poison], &Code.ensure_loaded?/1)
@impl Plug
def init(opts), do: opts
@impl Plug
def call(conn, _opts) do
{spec, _} = PutApiSpec.get_spec_and_operation_lookup(conn)
conn
|> Plug.Conn.put_resp_content_type("application/json")
|> Plug.Conn.send_resp(200, @json_encoder.encode!(spec))
end
end
Could someone kindly help?

Assuming the error message above is what Mix is printing, notice that it is prepending
OpenApiTestto the module name. That’s not supposed to happen unless you are defining an alias somewhere ofOpenApiSpextoOpenApiTest.OpenApiSpexor similar. Check your router and web.ex file.If the above is not the correct warning, can you please print the full warning, including file+line info?

Thanks JV for the prompt support.
Below is the complete warning.
Below is my troubleshooting:
When I have
get "/openapi", OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpec, []inside the/apiblock like belowIt pops us the warning, appends the
OpenApiTestWebto.OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpecthe and eventually fails to render the specs since the render could not take place.When I moved
get "/openapi", OpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpec, []out of the “/api” scope block, the warning disappears and the call to theOpenApiSpex.Plug.RenderSpecis succesful.Am I missing something? Curious to dig it down. Thank you.

Oh, I see. The issue is the
scope. Thescope ..., OpenApiTestWebwill nest everything inside underOpenApiTestWeb. Do this instead:
