Phoenix 1.7

I am new to elixir and am working through the Elixir Phoenix Docs, while following this https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/mix_phx_gen_auth.html. But I am getting an error when running the tests once the auth is generated. This is done with postgres, I get the same error when using sqlite.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create new phx project
  • Install dependencies and create database
  • mix test (5 or 5 test pass)
  • mix phx.gen.auth Accounts User users
  • mix deps.get
  • mix ecto.setup
  • mix test (30 tests fail of 128)

Error:

I am using NixOS, so I am guessing I am missing a dependency. Or maybe I may just not be following the documentation correctly? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks! :smiley:

What error? The specific message has been clipped off the top of the log you posted, which makes this into a guessing game.

Make 100% sure that the various pieces of Phoenix are on the correct version.

The error you’re seeing is what I’d expect if an old core_components.ex was being used with a too-new version of phx.gen.auth:
