Is there anyway to print this &1?
I usually don’t know what the value is since was written by a generator, and doing IO.inspect(&1) gives an error.
Example Usage:
def create(conn, %{"employee" => %{"email" => email}}) do
if employee = Staff.get_employee_by_email(email) do
Staff.deliver_employee_confirmation_instructions(
employee,
&Routes.employee_confirmation_url(conn, :edit, &1)
)
end

Did you include the capture operator aka the leading

To expand a bit, where did you put the
IO.inpect(&1)? I could be wrong, but something is telling me you put it outside the capture expression.&Routes.employee_confirmation_url(conn, :edit, IO.inspect(&1))should do the trick.chrisdel101
Great! Thanks. I’ve fighting with this one for awhile.
I was doing both of those things wrong, and so now it’s working.
