Phoenix long poll error: ArgumentError{message: "unknown registry: nil"}

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:

[info] CONNECTED TO Phoenix.LiveView.Socket in 18µs
  Transport: :longpoll
  Serializer: Phoenix.Socket.V2.JSONSerializer
  Parameters: %{"_csrf_token" => "<redacted>", "_live_referer" => "undefined", "_mount_attempts" => "0", "_mounts" => "0", "_track_static" => %{"0" => "http://localhost:4000/assets/app.css", "1" => "http://localhost:4000/assets/app.js"}, "vsn" => "2.0.0"}

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

Solved, looks like I was missing:

config :myapp, MyAppWeb.Endpoint, pub_sub: MyApp.PubSub
