So I updated the project to Phoenix 1.6 and I tried changing root.html.leex to root.html.heex and changed

<link phx-track-static rel="stylesheet" href="<%= Routes.static_path(@conn, "/css/app.css") %>"/>

to

<link phx-track-static rel="stylesheet" href={Routes.static_path(@conn, "/css/app.css")}/>

run the app and GET /:

[info] GET /
[error] #PID<0.864.0> running FaithfulWordWeb.Endpoint (connection #PID<0.863.0>, stream id 1) terminated
Server: localhost:4000 (http)
Request: GET /
** (exit) an exception was raised:
    ** (UndefinedFunctionError) function FaithfulWordWeb.Router.init/1 is undefined (module FaithfulWordWeb.Router is not available)

        (stdlib 3.15.1) proc_lib.erl:226: :proc_lib.init_p_do_apply/3

when I restore the suffix to .leex and the legacy syntax, the app can find the Router. So, not sure if it’s actually an issue with endpoint.ex

Any ideas how I debug this?

Remove the _build folder and it should work. There is a bug in Elixir where renaming an external resource (such as leex to heex) is not picked up. This is fixed in the RC coming this week.
