I’m seeing an error in my Phoenix dev environment that I’m a bit stuck on debugging. I’ve narrowed the cause down to MyApp_Web.Endpoint.ex and the long polling setting:

defmodule MyAppWeb.Endpoint do
  ...

  @session_options [
    store: :cookie,
    key: "_myapp_key",
    signing_salt: "<random string generated by Phoenix",
    same_site: "Lax"
  ]

  socket "/live", Phoenix.LiveView.Socket,
    websocket: [connect_info: [session: @session_options]],
    longpoll: [connect_info: [session: @session_options]]
end

The error is:

The actual error is "unknown registry: nil" - what could cause this? No difference when adding Phoenix.PubSub, name: MyApp.PubSub} to MyApp.Application.ex.
